Re: Xpan 30mm lens

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO USE A TRIPOD THEN YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER A CAMERA THAT WOULD PROVIDE A LARGER IMAGE (NEG, TRANNIE). THE
XPAN AIN'T MUCH BUT IT IS AN EXPENSIVE  START-UP CAMERA FROM WHICH
YOU CAN LEARN WHAT YOU WILL DO NEXT, OR SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AS FOR 30SEC MAX EXPOSURE TIME, THE  F5.6 MAX  IS ASKING FOR
IT WITH RECIPROCITY PROBLEMS. SIMON NATHAN

Hi,

I'm considering the Xpan 30mm lens but my mind has always been clouded by
the 30 sec limit of the body and the f/5.6 opening of the lens plus centre
filtering.  This may work out for landscape but for night scenes it may
be handicapped.  Has anybody experiences any inconveniences with this lens
in the real world?
