Shooting Mamiya panoramics with a 150 in North Dakota or Montana appeals
to me. The Xpan is an option but an Xpan doesn't have that brownie film
option! I'm sure the Mamiya optics are sharp enough. But you also
mentioned reading a review which stated its superiority to Hassy and I
still want to know who said it and feel that's a huge pill to swallow.
It wasn't Erwin that's for sure.
