Xpan

[Hayden]

Im have offered to me a hassleblad xpan but it has two issues
1 the frame lines are stuck on 90mm and wont return to 45mm
2 The regular dioper has been lost and i cant find one at the normal retail outlets also one that is plus 1 dioper will do

can anyone help me?

Stuck on 90 not good... There is actually 4 frame lines. 2 each for 45 and 90. One set for normal 35 perspective and the other is for Pano.. When u switch from Pano to normal does the frame line change or vice versal?

I would suggest u ask around about estimate to fix. Stuck on 45 is preferable to 90. 90 gets used seldom for the way I use the camera.

Key an eye out on this web page for diopters... Keh occasionally gets in diopters for xpans. Right now they have a +2

Here's an old thread I started several years ago, concerning my own troubles, and eventual resolution of them, with XPAN framelines. At first I didn't even realize the finder was broken!

The bottom line: you need to send it in for repair.

That was fast! Hasselblad took a long time to do mine.
