I had posted a full kit here. Check in the classifieds.

It took a while to go and the body, 45, and 90 were finally purchased by people outside of RFF.

I still have the 30mm for sale.

Check the classifieds.

The cameras are built really well. The xpan 1 has soft paint, as mentioned above. This should not stop you from buying one with missing paint. As long as it is mechanically perfect, that is all that matters.
 
I have all three lenses. I never use the 90mm. Maybe I would if I took it with me... Mostly I use the 30mm. If I have room for just one lens, it's always the 30. (I never use the 90mm Rokkor for my M's either.) Guess I'm just a wide-angle guy.

The one in my signature? I will change. Thanks.

As I said in the other post, I took 11 rolls of slides. Obviously not all are winners, but I suspect I am about 1/3 through the good ones. I used the 90mm may be 1/4 of the time and the rest split pretty much between the 30 and 45. Unfortunately, I didn't note down which ones are taken with which. You can some times guess base on the perspective. When I find one that I am reasonably sure of, I will let you know.

All three lenses are excellent, that's for sure. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Yes I liked all of the shots you had put up.. wonderful stuff from the Xpan for sure.
 
hi xpanners
could someone tell me if this is a good price?
Item number: 280156138330

if not, what should it be based on the descriptions
?

many thanks
 
it looks like a good price..not bad at all. I bought mine for 1400$ but there are some paint loss on my camera. This camera looks good to me..just make sure you are dealing with good seller..ebay makes me nervous as hell.

hi
normally the center filter for the 45mm lens goes for >200USD
does anyone know how much does the 45mm lens hood usually cost?

anyone else might be able to offer me advise on Item number: 280156138330 ? :)
thank you
 
dunno where u got that quote of >200USD as i got my centre filter from cathay last time for under 200SGD. As for the hood, u don't really need it but if u want it, its scarce as hen's teeth. U might have more luck calling up hassy direct and asking for one. Might get it free.
 
Yes. I just need to inventory it. I haven't been using it much and you want to, so it seems that you will be happier with the camera and I with the money, which I will promptly use on more photo gear I probably don't need.

Hello.
I have just purchased an X-pan 2. Receive it in approximately 2 weeks time from Germany. Can't wait!
I have been looking at the many photos scanned and posted all over the web and in a number of books I have purchased, the quality of colour rendition and detail even in reasonably large photos is amazing. I have been looking for something that does't require a suitcase to carry around, like a 617 camera system, yet give detailed panoramic type photos without significant cropping.
I hope the X-pan is not dead in the water since I'm a novice with lots to learn and I love to look at and learn from the great photos other photographers have taken.
Long live the x- pan format.
( Is there any chance hasselblad might release an X-pan 3 in the future? )
Regards

Dear Range Loser,
Love your panoramic photos.
Is it possible to view them bigger than the approx 7cm by 16cm that they come up at?.
Keep up the great work,
Kind regards

I have all three lenses and rarely used the 90 until recently. I was surprised at how terrific it was. A small telephoto with extra wide coverage that picks out detail that is lost in the 30 and 45.

Where did you get your 90?
