   Cool angle! This TX is the same like Xpan, isn't it?

   it's the xpan. But because the camera was invented, created and built by fuji, I like to call it Fuji TX. Only in Japan it was sold as TX, the rest of the world got an Hasselblad Xpan. Except for the logo and the colour there is no difference. I wanted a Fuji, but found a hasselblad very cheap (ahum, cheaper than Fuji I mean).

   Taken from exact the same spot as the next pic. This is the 30mm lens

   @gauthierdumonde Awesome angle anyway. Which lens?

   @adash the 45mm lens has the same angle as 24mm, the 30mm lens has the angle of a 17mm. Ofcourse they remain 45 and 30mm lenses. The 30mm is the most expensive lens I. It costs twice the price of a secondhand nikkor 14-24. I bought it to cure my addiction of constantly buying camera's without having the money for it. It worked.

   Yeah, I know how crop ratio works (I have an Olympus digital camera), but that angle is just adorable. In the past I could use a Sigma 10-20 APS-C lens on my film Pentax, and It just blew my mind:

   Now I don't have access to it, so I'm sometimes using the APS-C 18-55 lens on a Pentax film body:

   And I am secretly considering a Samyang 14/2.8....
   Well, the Xpan photos still have a greater appeal due to the panoramic format. That's an awesome photo, and I have seen just out-of-this-world landscapes from it....
