Or a Fuji TX-1 (same thing, different brand name). One was for sale on that
other list that many of us also frequent just last week, for just USD1850 I
think - incl. the 45mm lens and shipping.

You NEED an Xpan, but I'm not selling mine! The first version isn't as neat
as the second, but the first is very usable. If you get one of the earliest
ones, it could come cheaper, as the black covering was very delicate and
looked bad after shipping, much less use. I have all three lenses, and the
30 is the expensive one. It's a delight to use, but not as useful as the 45
and 90, so don't feel like you need all three. Unless shooting chromes, the
very expensive center filter fo rteh 45 isn't necessary, and one isn't
needed ever with the 90. I have a Minolta Multi Scan that scans the negs
well, but really, there's nothing like a good print made with a real
enlarger.

The Xpan is one of those cameras that has greatly intrigued me through the
years. As I'm not afraid of film, maybe it would have some future in my kit.
But last time I checked, it's still just a hair beyond my allotted film
budget. I've been informed by the CDFO that I have a choice between
something like that or a new digital camera, but not both.
Hmmmmm....
Also, another thing holding me back. No darkroom in the current digs.
SWMBO has let it be known that the conversion of the house to one large
darkroom is not welcome. She'll let me if I have to, but the payment for
said inconvenience is not a good thing right now.
Yes, it is for sale. The house, that is.
