How does the Xpan get such a broad image? They only use 30mm, 45mm and 90mm lenses. I could not find the info about the construction of the camera.


Has it to do with the distance between lens and film plane? The lenses seem the same as normal lenses, a Nikon 30mm also was used.


I wish there was a true digital panorama camera. I know there are ways to produce a panoramic image, but the problem is you cannot see the whole image until you have stitched it together on your computer. With the analog panoramic cameras, you could see the whole image through the viewfinder. That was a lot easier to compose an images.


Too bad there is no curved panoramic back for my Noblex .


Kind regards,

Xpan lenses are actually designed to cover 6x45 image circle so you can actually call them medium format rangefinder lenses. It has a massive film gate.
