Unique dual-format panoramic rangefinder shooting 24x65mm on 35mm film, an irreplaceable camera commanding extraordinary prices.
The Hasselblad Xpan is one of the most unique cameras ever produced, a 35mm rangefinder that shoots both standard 24x36mm frames and panoramic 24x65mm frames on the same roll of film. This dual-format capability allows photographers to switch between conventional and ultra-wide panoramic compositions on a frame-by-frame basis.
The panoramic 24x65mm frame uses nearly twice the width of standard 35mm film, producing sweeping images with a cinematic 2.7:1 aspect ratio that no cropping or stitching can replicate. The dedicated Hasselblad lenses are computed specifically for this wide frame, delivering sharp, distortion-free coverage to the extreme edges of the panoramic format.
Build quality is exceptional with a solid titanium-bodied construction produced by Fujifilm to Hasselblad specifications. The rangefinder focusing system is bright and accurate, the shutter is whisper-quiet, and the automatic exposure system provides aperture-priority convenience. The viewfinder automatically adjusts framelines between standard and panoramic modes.
The Hasselblad Xpan has become one of the most sought-after film cameras on the used market, commanding extraordinary prices driven by its completely unique capability. No other camera before or since has offered true in-camera panoramic capture on 35mm film, making the Xpan irreplaceable for photographers who have experienced its distinctive perspective.
