[Leica] Hasselblad XPan II Scanning Question

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (frank.dernie@btinternet.com)]

I have a Nikon coolscan 8000 ans the glass negative holder, this has a mask 
for many negative sizes including xpan. I am extremely happy with the 
results 617 Fuji negs need scanning in 2 parts and stitching.
