User-Friendly
◆ While professional in design and image
quality, the XPan II is a snap to use, featur-
ing center-weighted TTL exposure meter-
ing (with manual override).
◆ Film loading and winding is easy. The
camera automatically detects film speed
(programmable auto DX with ISO over-
ride) and pre-winds the film onto the cam-
era spool. It then rolls each exposed frame
back into the film cassette. This protects
the exposed film inside even if the camera
is opened by mistake. It also reduces the
risk of camera noise, as film is wound
when you choose to load film, not at the
unexpected end of a roll. And since
rangefinder cameras have no reflex mirror
to make noise when exposing a shot, the
XPan II is virtually silent in operation.
Viewfinder & LCD
◆ The bright-frame viewfinder and coupled
rangefinder make viewing and focusing
easy and intuitive. Viewfinder information
is adjusted automatically, reflecting the for-
mat and the focal length of the lens.
◆ An LCD display in the viewfinder shows
shutter speed, exposure compensation, and
symbols for exposure offset. A smaller
LCD display, showing format and number
of exposures remaining, is conveniently
located on the top of the camera.
◆ The LCD on the Xpan II’s rear displays
ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensa-
tion, auto bracketing, self-timer delay time,
sync mode, rewind mode, multi exposure,
battery status, and exposure history.
High Performance
◆ Shoot single frame or continuous at up to
three standard or two panorama frames
per second.
◆ Rewind mode can also be set to leave the
film tip exposed for easier extraction and
flash sync can be programmed to trigger at
the beginning or end of exposure.
◆ User functions such as auto bracketing
(three consecutive exposures at 0.5 or 1 EV
increments) with either single or continu-
ous exposure, exposure compensation (±2
EV at 0.5 EV increments), and multi-expo-
sure mode(up to 9 exposures per frame)
can be programmed via the rear display.
Optional Hasselblad Lenses for the XPan II
A camera as unique as the XPan II requires a
series of lenses as unique as the camera itself.
That’s exactly what Hasselblad offers in the form
of the X-Pan system’s three light, interchange-
able, and extremely compact medium format
lenses – the 30mm f/5.6, 45mm f/4 and 90mm
f/4. These lenses have been specially designed to
produce superior performance, resolution, and
contrast and to provide image circles as large as
those of 6x4.5 medium format lenses.
These unique lenses are what make the outstand-
ing quality and full panorama format possible,
and are the key to producing medium format
quality on 35 mm film. Multicoated glass ele-
ments ensure top quality results, providing brilliant contrast and full tonal scale. Optical aberra-
tions are well corrected, with almost no color fringing and extremely low distortion, even with
the extreme-wide angle coverage of the 30mm lens. The smooth action of the focusing ring
guarantees quick and accurate focusing. All lenses feature automatic coupling of the focusing
mechanism to the camera rangefinder, a rear bayonet fitting for camera attachment, and a front
bayonet fitting for lens shade. To meet the highest requirements for even corner-to-corner illu-
mination, the 30mm Aspherical and 45mm lenses can be fitted with a dedicated center filter.
30mm f/5.6 Aspherical (HA3056X)
When used for the 24x65 mm panorama format, this ultra-wide-angle lens provides a horizontal
view of almost 94° and retains its superb
performance over the entire image field with
virtually no distortion. The lens comes with an
auxiliary viewfinder, attached to the camera’s
flash shoe, containing built-in spirit level and
field markings for the regular and panorama
formats. The camera’s rangefinder is used for
focusing only. Complete with a lens shade and a
dedicated 58mm center filter......................2849.95
45mm f/4 (HA454X)
The very compact design and high image quality
of the 45mm makes this lens the obvious choice
as the standard XPan II camera lens. When used
for panorama images the lens has a true wide-
angle horizontal coverage of 71°. The dedicated
49 mm center filter is recommended for critical
situations where transparency film is used. The
center filter is normally not required when using
negative film if the lens is stopped down to f/8 or
smaller aperture.............................................569.95
90mm f/4 (HA904X)
This lens is ideally suited for general purpose
photography when a wide-angle effect is not
desired. When used for regular 24x36mm images,
it provides a telephoto perspective, when used for
panorama images the telephoto effect is moderate
but clearly visible...........................................689.95
