Hasselblad X-PAN 35mm Rangefinder Camera

If you a want a small 35mm camera with the option to shoot panoramics and money is not a concern, then this is the camera for you.

Best panoramic camera on the market but has many basic defects including the inability to change lenses mid roll. The 30mm lens is expensive beyond belief for what you get. If possible buy another product. Wait until a digital version is available.

This is a great camera recommended to anyone needing to create panorama images. The lenses make me wish Hassy made lenses for my Nikons. Incredibly sharp and bright. I have enlarged images to 8'x42' in an airport display and they look terrific! The metering system is superb, allowing me to use the "auto" exposure most of the time. If you're using the 45 please invest in the center filter. You'll need it. These are expensive but worth the $.

This is a well designed, accurate, rugged and reliable camera for 35mm full frame panoramics. It also has the option of shooting standard 35mm format, though this is not what the camera was truly designed for. The photos I have taken with this camera in panoramic mode are wonderful, and the lenses are superb. I have not purchased the 30mm yet due to cost, but would certainly like to. The lenses can be changed at any time, just like any other rangefinder (see above review). The 45mm and 90mm are superb. Use the center filter on the 45mm for anything above f11.
I use the camera on a tripod with a level when shooting for the best possible effect. Yes, it is expensive, but there is nothing else like it out there and it is suberbly built. Shooting digital (which I do plenty) and stitching photos for panoramic is not the same, the xpan is superior.

Great quality photos with this camera. Better if you get a wider angle lens for panoramic pictures.

Widely recommended by photographers if you like panoramic pictures. With all the Hasselblad quality specs.
