Hi Glenn ……. very tempting !!!!! Timing isn’t right (need a new laptop urgent, iPhone etc) …. but very tempting!!!!
(It would encourage me to get the X-Pan out of the humidity cabinet once again!!)
Did you have good night at the Walkleys??

sorry to hijack this but i have a mostly related question (could get even more related to this 30mm piece if the cards fall that way…) regarding the xpan vs. the 6×17 predicament. i’m kind of stuck on this right now and wonder about the following: are the bootleg 6×17 bodies any good? anyone worked with any of these? glenn, do you have any images shot with the 30mm? perhaps in tight surroundings? (this was the one thing i really like about a swing lens panorama…) anyhow, any thoughts about the xpan vs 6×17 predicament would be appreciated, especially regarding any cheaper versions of the xpan etc. best, e.

the x pan is great for a a small portable camera much better than the russian swing cameras ( one whioch I threw in the Ganges yerars ago) That said the Linhof and Fuji 6×17 are amazing cameras I use the fixed lens versions which I feel are more durable. As far as the others the noblex is nice but cumebersome Hard to handhold for sure. The Linhiof 6×12 is beautiful as well 2×1 rather than the 6×17 almost 3×1 but is a beautiful machine. The only camera I love more and have’nt been able to afford yet are the Ebony especially the 6×17 inch camera but these again not really made for handholding. If your purpose is journalism hard to beat the x pan . Both the Fuji and Linhof have great results and can be used for PJ BUT at 4 frames per roll it is difficult to shoot ( also 8 frames for 220) But you will need to be fast and bring a lot of film . I personally use both the Xpan and the 6×17
as it gives me the ability to cover and then select specials for the 6×17 Hope this helps
