I drove my camper van to Sweden to buy a Hasselblad Xpan II panoramic film camera. In this video I collect my new camera, explain why I drove so far for it and shoot a few frames of Kodak Ektarchrome E100 slide film. I hope you enjoy this landscape photography video.

As an Australian, I find it so crazy that you can just _drive_ to another country! I'd dearly love to come to the UK one day.

Hi thomas Some advice from a long time X-Pan II user. The 45mm lens hodd fits also perfectly on the 90mm lens A Canon jack electrical release fits the X-Pan II You should definitely find and buy the special Hasselblad center filter for the 45mm. It remove totaly vignetting on film, and so you get better quality scans. Luigi in Italy makes (even today) fabulous fine leather half cases for different X-Pan models, with diffferent options. Often changing format on the same film draines massively the batteries (film has to be wound and rewound at each change), so you have ever to carry 2 sets of spare batteries when mixing a lot panos and classical framing. Enjoy your X-Pan

@brianeibisch6025 Год назад

There could not be a better owner of this camera. I’m sure we’re all going to see some stunning images as Thomas gets to grips with this amazing piece of photographic technology and all the different films it can take actually being 35mm.

@MartinFoster-qd9tw Год назад

I had the pleasure of owning and using the X-pan, Which I bought new back in the day. It went all over the world with me, until it fell off a mountain! My saddest day photographically! I'm sure you'll enjoy yours, happy new X-pan!

Remembder using the first version of X-pan when I study photography in 1998. A delight to have and shoot with.

@tonygaskins565 Год назад

My X pan was stolen from my car back in the late 1990s and I couldn't replace it, I still miss using it. I hope you have a s much pleasure using your x apn as I did mine.

@MartinVesiaidNilsson Год назад

For your next trip to Sweden - book in advance! You can often get a discount when you book both the ferry between Denmark and Germany as well as the crossing over the Öresund bridge to Sweden. I suggest maybe a trip to Öland and a visit to Stora Alvaret (the great Alvar). Unique nature and a good excuse to go camping!

@ThomasHeatonPhoto Год назад

Yeah, this did cross my mind, but I wasn't 100% sure of my schedule. Next time 👍

Trigger happy there, Tom. That's quite a smile you're wearing, despite the stinging cost of a bridge, a ferry, fuel and another Hassleblad! Pleased you got your film processed. Looking forward to seeing the other shots and good to see Harvey the motorhome appearing on another channel! :-)

@EzyYoutube Год назад

Such a cool camera! loved the last shot, perfect autumn colours and amazing composition !

@lucashertweck8731 Год назад

Man, I've had my XPAN for about 1,5 years now and I totally understand your excitement. And I can assure you that the feeling still holds up. You start seeing the world in panoramic images every time you hold this camera in your hands. It feels nice, it's a beauty to look at and the lenses, while they are not the fastest, are so freakin' sharp that it blows my mind every time. One thing I recommend doing is shooting vertical panos every now and then in certain situations. They make for some nice prints!

@EddyTheChump Год назад

I know it's not the same, but you can use 3x6 back masks and a 645 back on the hassleblad 503CXi and CW if you want a mechanical only option for panos. Would make a great comparison video. Thanks Tom for all the great content.

@andysuzierawlins5462 Год назад

@janfrosty3392 Год назад

Years ago, I had a X-Pan II with 45 and 90mm lenses, one of the cameras I regret selling. I wish that Fujifilm reintroduce it again similarly like Leica did recently with M6.

@jameshood3457 Год назад

Honestly, I think that road trips are rarely unnecessary. Me and my wife always feel most at home when we are in the car together taking a long and possibly sub-“optimal” route to some new coastal town or walking route. Glad you enjoyed yourself mate, looking forward to seeing some images from the xpan!

@MartinKaller Год назад

Great to see that you're in Söderåsen Nationalpark! I was hoping you would end up shooting there, absolutely beautiful. I usually try to go down when the colors are peak but got stuck with exams, I surely hope we get to see more of it in the next video! The incredible steep terrain together with the beechwood creates a lot of opportunities for great composition, really beautiful landscapes.

@@hoehlentroll69 because it was a slow ride towards a federalised superstate, that is why. EU treaty law sneaked in between parliaments from 1993 - 2009 (Maastricht, Nice, Amsterdam and Lisbon) emancipated our legislative and constitutional primacy, stripping powers British voters have control over through hiring/ firing the ultimate lawmakers, and law enforcers, which became EU law, the EU constitution (renamed Lisbon), and the ECJ being the supreme court.

@andrewjones-productions Год назад

I can see why you are attracted to this camera. I also really like panoramic views, although my work (my public videos on my channel do not reflect it!) as a cinematographer/videographer requires little use for it. Mostly, my work these days requires shoots of talking heads or factory lines. A lot of tight shots so as not to reveal customer secrets and to avoid shooting anything that would get us into copyright trouble. I have to say that I envy the flexibility in camera settings that photographers enjoy in shooting things like autumn colours in not too great a light. Cinema cameras require a lot of light to make dull subjects look anything special and our shutter speed feels cramped compared with photography. I absolutely love your work Thomas and your dedication and work ethic is something to not only admire but emulate.

Nice to see you in Sweden! It's too late in the year now, but I'd really recommend the far north of Sweden, think Narvik in Norway and then go east. The rugged mountains that then descend down to the coast, going from ragged high altitude ecology down to the endless forests near the coast.
