<<I have considered this camera and then discarded the notion of buying one.
I wonder about Hasselblad these days. Have you seen the special cameras
they now offer? Too little for too much cash. Jap Optics on a Hasselblad?
That would never have happened a decade ago. Not Impressed at all. I wonder
about the overall quality of the camera. Is it nicely finished?

I am, however, considering Linhoff or ALPA. At least they have a high level
of quality.

The X-Pan is not up to the par in the finish department from what I saw. Very
"Fuji-like" feel to it. In fact, I don't think it was even as nice as the
GSW/GW 6x9 cameras that Fuji makes. Crappy sun shade too.

I love my Hasselblad's (500cm/SWC/553ELX & 503CW) but I don't want a Fuji-
blad!
