Re: [Leica] Hasselblad XPAN

["Bryan Willman" <bryanwi@seanet.com>]

Andre's post seems well founded to me.

And of course, Fuji sells a number of
limited, professional, cameras.

If you think of the xpan as an alternative
to something like the fixed lens 6x9
cameras, it makes more sense.
It's not intended as a general shooter's
camera.  It's intended for specific
applications, and only makes economic
sense for artists or professionals who
pursue those applications frequently.

So, again, the question isn't "is it
a good general purpose camera"
but "are there enough people who
need its special advantages and
who will buy it?"
