Description:
It's with a very heavy heart that I'm writing this post...

But she has to go...

Selling a poor man's XPAN. a.k.a Pentax 6x7 with the WIDEPAN Pano adapter that can use 135 film on this 6x7 camera.

This camera comes with a 105mm/f2.4 Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 6x7 lens. In my opinion, it's a superb lens and I personally like it very much for it's "bokeh".

With the WIDEPAN pano adapter, it works exactly like the XPAN and gives a format of 24x66mm on the normal 35mm film. The only difference is that the XPAN lenses are NOT as FAST as this TAKUMAR! So you can imagine the amount of Bokeh that you can get.

To illustrate, here is a sample pic:

Special thanks to Mr WeeKH for posing as my model.

Condition of the camera as shown in the picture, I would say, not a collector, but definitely a user. Functionally 10/10, cosmetic is 7/10.

Will give personal training on how to load & unload the film from the camera as it takes some familiarization.

No need to bid, whoever offers SGD700 will get this camera with the WIDEPAN pano adapter + 5 rolls of B&W Lucky SHD 100 120 film + 5 rolls of B&W Lucky SHD 100 135 film + 5 rolls of Colour Super 200 135 film.

If you have been salivating on a XPAN, but are very tired of the ridiculous price on EVIL BAY, this is a wonderful chance to own a POOR MAN'S XPAN + a 6x7 medium format camera at 1/4 of the price!

Shutter speed is spot on, camera was checked by a technician and certified FFF (Fit For Firing). No dings on the camera, but brassing on the sides and some paint loss due to aging. Lens is clean & clear, no fungus, no fogging.

A picture paints a thousand words...

You can load the taking spool with a empty spool or use an empty film cartridge.

Why sell the cam chiif? I have seen this baby & i must say its realli impressive. I feel the built is even more robust then the xpan, not to mention the bright lens!
 

Camera reserved for viewing tomorrow. :)

Yes, it's a very nice camera. Solid built, great lens. But I have too many cameras. Just got back my 2.8E and a hassey is on it's way.... Just feel that such great tools must be used and not kept. :)

Sharing another of my favourite shot...
