My entire RB67 setup (all three finders, five lenses, left hand grip, seven roll backs of two brands and four formats) has cost me less than a third what an Xpan does, and doesn't depend on electronics that can fail without warning and can no longer be repaired (the mechanical shutters and body will remain serviceable for many years yet). If I load a 220 roll back with 35mm film, a 90 mm, 65 mm, and 50 mm come close to Xpan focal lengths, and a wide angle filter can give effectively 45, 33, and 27 mm lenses.
Yep, it weighs several times what an Xpan does -- but with 120 film the primary medium, it's far more versatile.
