In his book, "Personal Exposures," he states he usually uses a

Leica with a 50mm, occasionally a 90mm.

l, you guys should really try the Stupendilux. I mean, with a

negative 1 f-stop, you can shoot with negative 400 speed film.

<p>

The Stupendilux is reknown for its amazing fingerprint; it literally

can show your subject's "inner light."

<p>

If you'd like to buy my Stupendilux (it's the rare one from '84),

email me off list (remove the NOSPAM from my email address)

Serious inquiries only, please.

<p>

Cheers,

Check out my review (and initial question) <a

Basically, nice camera, like a Hexar RF, but damnit, it only has a

f/4 lens, insensitive light meter, exposure indicators in viewfinder

wash out in strong light, and the 30mm lens is $$$$.

<p>

I sold mine for a Leica (I was trying to get a Leica and a Widelux

in one package). Someday I'll buy a Widelux, as I like the swing

lens look better than the flat perspective the x-pan offers.

<p>

However, if you like that perspective, and you love panos, then

you'll love that camera. Kirkphoto.com makes a really nice plate

that meshes with the Arca-swiss QR system.

<p>

If you want to email me, remove the NOSPAM in my email

address. I'm trying to stop those frickin' spam robots that troll this

site.

<p>

Cheers,

I agree, this is a tremendous forum. If only we could keep those

pesky spam robots from harvesting our emails...

<p>

Thanks,
