HASSELBLAD XPAN + HASSELBLAD 45 MM 1:4 À PARIS

Hello everyone,    I’m selling my XPAN with regret in order to finance a Leica M. I have had this device for 5 years now and it has accompanied me on my most beautiful trips. It is a magical camera as much by the photographic myth it represents as by the beauty of its images. It provides grandiose images in panoramic as well as in classic 24*36 format. It is very easy to use because its internal cell measures the light superbly well an the focus could be done with the telemetric.    Its exterior condition shows some signs of wear and tear. I am not a professional seller of cameras, so to guarantee the functioning of this camera “Les Victors” in Paris revised the camera. The invoice and details of the work done are in photos of this annouce. It works perfectly and the lens is in superb condition.   For those who do not know this mythical camera: The XPan was an extremely unique camera, providing the advantages of the 35mm format but also the ability to swiftly change to full panorama format without having to change the film. The XPan utilized a dual-format, producing both full panorama 24x65mm format in addition to conventional 24x36mm format on the exact same film. It was the first dual-format 35mm camera on the market that expanded the format instead of masking it, making sure that every exposure utilized the full area of the film. This camera is not sell by Hasselblad anymore thus this is a piece of collection.  Fore the pleasure, I have puted in the announce some of my pictures I made with this camera.  Please feel free to ask any questions. Best regards, Maxime
