X-pan is light and convienent.  I have used it at night with the 30mm lens
without too much trouble.  The center filter is good for bright, evenly lit
scenes, but for most night shots just take it off.

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?
