The Curse of the Hasselblad XPan
If you think you might want an XPan, spend eighty bucks on a Lomography Sprocket Rocket and see if 24x72 is really a way you want to make photographs.<p>You see, the thing about the sprocket rocket is it comes with an insert to mask the sprocket holes...well and the other thing is you won&#x27;t worry about dropping it because it is both cheap and rugged enough to survive three feet onto concrete and lacking electronics falling into the stream adding foreground interest to your volcanic Iceland panorama.<p>Plus it weighs nothing.<p>I ain&#x27;t saying it is as good an Xpan, but if sharpness is the most interesting part of your pictures, it will be the cure.<p>And with all the money you&#x27;ll save you can book a nice trip to Iceland.
