also, i might be wrong about which line this was (see the alt text) it could just as easily be on the denentoshi line... eek, no longer sure.

it would be lovely to carrying the xpan everywhere again... it's a great camera, and an interesting travel companion. unfortunately it eats batteries and requires a lot of time and patience to shoot.

with the 30mm lens there is the additional problem of framing and metering through separate viewfinders.

don't get me wrong, it's a dream camera but you need to make the time to work with it.
