I don’t get the hype. I own, use and also completely love my xpan so I like the format, wideluxx isn’t even close to that.

You get none of the Hasselblad glass and distortion (which I guess is what people go for with this?) for more than 100% the price of an xpan?

Yes I do admit that the xpan isn’t made anymore but imo it’s still king even if you have to buy another one.

They're apples and oranges. But aren't the Xpan's going for a similar price if you include a lens?

The Xpan is electronic so when it dies, there's a very low chance it can be fixed.

This one is fully mechanical so has a better chance over longer periods.
