Yes, I know.  Don't put ideas in my head!  My bank account can't take it.

Only if you can handle the MF negatives. I would personnal think about an Xpan if I wanted the long 35mm format because I don't have any way to scan or work with 6x7 negatives. Yea, yea, I could get the scanned at a service bureau, but that gets expensive.

Your point is well taken though. The XPan is, in fact, a medium format camera that uses 35mm film to capture the middle stripe of a MF-sized image circle. It is a specialilzed tool and excels at what it does.

It takes some neat verticals though.

The Mamiya 7 takes 35mm film for panorama shooting.
