I can not rewind the film after loading it in to my hasselblad xpan and finish the roll. It block right away. Is there a possibility to fix it by my self?
i finish my first roll and now this !!!
I try pressing the rewind botom, but nothing happens... oh my
 
So, let me get this straight. You loaded the film into the camera and shot the whole roll? You realize the Xpan extracts the whole roll when you first load it in and shoots through the roll backwards. So after the final frame, all it does is rewind the final frame and the bit of leader back into the cartridge and it's done. So there's no long rewinding process.

In other words, your camera might have already rewound the film.
 
If I recall correctly, the Xpan winds the roll all the way out and then winds it in as it 'advances' the film.

But it's nearly two AM and I've been entertaining an editor, so I could easily be wrong. I've not used an Xpan in a decade or so.

Cheers,

The Xpan doesn't rewind film after the last shot, as the film travels backwards back into the film canister. You can open the back and develop the film now.
 
well , rookie mistake,when i load the film i dont respect the film tip,
I try again with 2 more rolls and everything is ok, thanks so much .
