My Favourite Tool......an Xpan

For a period I had three of these. But you can use only one at a time anyway, so I kept just one and all three lenses. I love Xpan eventhough it has its flaws....

I want one... For the moment I enjoy with Horizon Perfekt and its deformations.

@montagu

What flaws?
A) it is fully electronic. I wish it works like Leica instead.
B) have you tried to get one repaired? it is more and more difficult to find people still doing it(not tlaking about cost of such repairs). You need an old PC running MS-DOS to get in to it.
C) Bulb timer is 4:30 max. And it is minority of cameras having this updated motherboard. Most xpans are only 1:30. That's not BULB.
D) f/4 and F/5,6 lenses. And with the originall center filter,which I use due to vignetting they're practically F/5,6 and F/9.
E) For landscapes unusable with graduated filter due to its rangefinder construction. But that's not something I can blaim the camera for. It is problem of how Im trying to use it. TOO MUCH and in complicated way :)
