Thanks Frank,
I've heard from 'blad that it will not load ifff the film does not have 
DX coding: must be set to manual before you try: I have not checked 
this yet: they told me the xpan 2 should not fog the film: I knew xpan 
one did, so hopefully this is an improvement in the second model. I'll 
let you know

Cheers
