The thing that I find most amusing about the introduction of the Hasselblad
XPan is that for years this company and Mr. Ernst Wildi, their corporate
parrot, has been "'the square','the square','the square','the square','the
square'", extolling the virtues of the square format  - and then introduces
a camera that shoots not just rectangular shots, but very long rectangular
shots at that. You'd think they'd strip some gears, back-peddling like that.

Cheers,
