Re: XPan problems

[Scott Barker <sbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard if Hasselblad is going to address
this problem? I know someone on the list found out about it the hard way
after being promised by Hassy it would handle IR film fine. Along those
lines, has anyone tried either the Mamiya 7 with the 35mm panoramic insert
or the Pentax 67 (I think they have a 35mm panoramic insert?) with IR film?
I'd love to do some panoramic work with IR, but don't want to spend $4-7
grand (U.S.) for a panoramic -only camera. Any suggestions guys?
