[Leica] XPanII Pakon scan

[Bill Pearce]

On a print? probably not, but as you are looking through the VF, an 
important part of composition at least to me, it makes a world of 
difference. I own both the xPan and a film Hasselblad and never thought of 
fropping to make a pano of any size. Also, the xpan is great for travel as 
it offers both panoramic and FF35 options.

Does it look different to using, say, an S2 with 24mm and cropping top and 
bottom?

Hi Jim, thanks! I love the cinematic look from the XPan

Hi Bill, yes, with the Pakon. I could have scan it with the LS-9000 of 
course, but with the Pakon, I can scan a whole 21-frames in a minute or two. 
Super convenient.

If they make a digital XPan, I will sell everything except a 4x5 with the 
150mm and the Leica M7 with the 35 'lux to buy it.
