ePhotoZine Reviews Hasselblad XPan II
It’s a refreshing change to link to a review of a film camera :-) ePhotoZine have just tested the Hasselblad XPan II, a 35mm film camera that shoots 21 extended 24X65mm “panoramic” frames on a 36 exposure roll of film.
“Having been a full digital convert for the last few years I thoroughly enjoyed a film revisit, especially on a camera as unique as this. It’s heavy in the hand for the size, which is something missing from the latest plastic digital cameras. It’s also slower so an “every shot has to count” approach is refreshing to return to. The shutter sounds good, the operation is quiet compared with an SLR and the focusing is smooth. Picture quality is razor sharp with no distortion or darkening at the edges.”
