Digital Xpan coming?

[hausen]

I know 4 or 5 guys who have Xpans now and we all admitted we would struggle to ignore a digital Xpan. My Xpan is probably the best camera I own and that includes my M9. My hit rate is close to 100% with Velvia.

anyone know if these rumours have turned out to have any basis for Photokina 2012? sorry for digging up an old post (march/2012).....

these guys are thinking there may be a Hasselbad XPan digital evolving out of a rebadged Fuji Xpro.....that would be....weird and interesting.

gosh i hope so! now THAT would be a camera even i would pay $3000 for, as opposed to some mini sony sensored FF with a fixed lens and no vf!

I think you're going to have to double or triple your cash if this camera does come to market.

A digital XPAN would be a special camera, not sure if accordingly priced high or low to attract new customer. If designed with interchangable lenses and an optical VF / RF system I would be seriously intrigued.

i would be happy for the body alone and native ability to use the xpan film lenses. imo, theyre fabulous! in addition, leica r lenses, like with the film xpan, could be easily adapted, but unlike the film cam, would be fully 'focusable' on digital.

I'd love to use my X-pan converted Cron-R on a digital x-pan

And I would have to atone for all my sins if my prayer was indeed heard:
"We need a digital XPAN - please, Hassy, please, please and please "

That has got to be the ugliest camera ever and the most desperate move from a respected name.

Makes me wonder,
I understand that in order to create an interesting panoramic frame you need to see it when you shoot it and that it's very different than cropping.
why wouldn't Nikon introduce a pano mode in their D600/D800 ?
just light on these pano frames, the same as the frame for DX lenses...
