John,

My main 135 cameras are film or digital Leicas (Either M or R). There are 
some XPan pictures in the Lebanon series, but I cannot tell them apart. The 
lenses on that XPan are VERY good. OTOH they are very slow compared to the 
Leica lenses? 

I still haven't looked for the XPan films, but I promise that I'll find the 
time?

All the best from Paris!

Tarek
