Hil brings up an interesting item -- the special order/discontinued A2035 back. Does anyone have one of these for sale used that you don't use anymore? I would be a good prospect! Then I would not need another camera and set of lenses...

WTB this usually special ordered 35mm panorama film back used but in

good to excellent condition. Do you have one collecting dust from

lack of use?

I am considering getting into a more panoramic format and my research

indicates that the Mamiya 7 has a 35mm panoramic adapter. I am

comparing it to the Hasselblad XPan and have a few questions.

 

Does anyone know about filter use with either camera and have advice

or pointers? I assume the Mamiya 7 will accept the P-series Cokin

filters I use with my Hasselblad 503. However, will the X-Pan give

me any vignetting problems with the same filters (especially

graduated ND filters on landscapes)?

 

What about lens quality? I know Fuji makes the camera for

Hasselblad. Do they make the lenes as well? How do the Fuji (or

other maker) lenses for the X-Pan compare with the lenses for the

Mamiya lenses?

 

Has anyone heard if Hasselblad is considering a 35mm panoramic insert

for its' 120 bodies?

I did the same thing about a month ago. While the new lens has T* coating for better color renditions, I am very pleased with my used 501C and older 150mm chrome lens. You might check out Ernst Wildi's book. He gives a great overview of the differences in the lenses and the new design. You will find the lens fully compaitble with your newer camera. Get the seller to give you a week to run some test shots.
