Lightweight, compact, and easy to use, the Hasselblad XPAN w/ 45 mm f/4, 90 mm f/4, Hood, and Center ND is a nifty gadget for amateur photographers. It features a dual-format facility that eliminates the need to change film.

Optics and Focus

The Hasselblad XPAN camera comes with the 45 mm f/4-22 and the 90 mm f/4-22 lenses, both of which accommodate 49 mm filters, and are capable of taking high-quality photographs. Speaking of filters, this camera includes a Center ND filter. The 45 mm lens is constructed with 6 elements in 8 groups, while the 90 mm lens is constructed with 9 elements in 7 groups. The included lens hood helps in protecting the lenses from the elements. The shutter speed stands at 1/1000th of a second, and the field of view stands at 85% or above. Use the automatic parallax adjustment for getting close shots. The TTL exposure meter offers a center-weighted, average reading, and measures the amount of light at the shutter plane. Also, the coupled rangefinder makes it easy to focus on your subjects with decent precision.

Sensor and Screen

The XPAN’s bright-frame viewfinder offers good clarity for viewing your subjects. The information present in the viewfinder is adjusted automatically as per the lens’ focal length. The backlit LCD exposure counter located at the back of the camera displays the selected format mode, the number of shots remaining in both formats, time value, ISO, auto bracketing, battery check, and the self-timer.
