The Hasselblad XPan II camera is the perfect companion to a regular 35mm or medium format camera outfit. It is the world's only dual format camera that can shoot both normal 35mm images (24x36mm) and panoramic images (24x65mm). Especially the latter capability is breathtaking. It delivers panoramic images of the highest quality order on stock 35mm film resembling output of medium format systems for which Hasselblad is renown. The XPan system is the result of a cooperation between Swedish Hasselblad and Japanese Fuji. Two models are available: the original XPan was introduced in 1998 and succeeded by the XPan II in 2003. Sadly, production of the latter came to a halt in 2005. The new EU environmental directive would have it made necessary to re-develop major elements of the camera, which was no longer economical at a time where film-based cameras are in decline. The corresponding Fuji models are the TX-1 and TX-2, only available in Japan, with the Hasselblad variants worldwide. All cameras, lenses and accessories are manufactured by Fuji in Japan.
