For Sale Hasselblad XPan - NEW PRICE

Colin Corneau · Jun 11, 2010

Same camera before, only now you have a few hundred less excuses not to get it.

XPan panoramic/regular 35mm rangefinder. Exc. condition - comes with 45mm lens, original instructions, 3 Rodenstock filters (UV, polarizer, centre filter to prevent vignetting) and I'll toss in a brick (10 rolls) of TMX-36 film.

Glass is excellent, no scratches, smudges, dust, oil, Martians or bubonic plague. This is as low as it gets folks -- 2 weeks and it's off to eBay. I'd rather an APUG'er get it and a donation go to the folks who bring us this excellent site.

US$1800 plus shipping. Please, US and Canadian orders only.

PM me or email ?'s to colin dot corneau at gee male, dot com.

No I won't split it up. No I won't lower the price, you're getting a helluva deal as it is now. Yes I will accept a money order or bank draft/cheque, as soon as it clears I will mail right away. Yes I am happy to answer any questions you might have, please don't hesitate to let me know.

MUSSSSSSSSSSSSSST RESISSSSSSST!!!!!!!!!!

Colin Corneau · Jun 11, 2010

Actually, Andrew -- plenty of people seem to be resisting. Just need one person who can use a terrific camera...I'm selling only because I want to move to a Hassy MF setup. It's in gorgeous shape.

C'mon people - the filters alone are worth 3-4 hundred dollars!!!

let me finish nursing school and find a job. I'll call you in February.

Colin Corneau · Jun 12, 2010

I can't afford to hang onto it that long, Sully. Sorry but 2 weeks and I'm simply turning this over to online auction.

ljsegil · Jun 12, 2010

This is an absolutely fabulous deal on one of the best conceived and executed cameras ever made for 35mm, panoramic or straight. Great body and optics, just a uniquely wonderful package. I wouldn't part with mine for anything (well...at least that I can think of right now).

No connection with seller, and I imagine he's glad for that.

Colin Corneau · Jun 12, 2010

Much appreciated, thank you. Honestly, I'd love to keep this -- but I just can't afford it right now and am trying to get a MF kit. That's the only reason -- it's in fine shape and I'm taking a loss right now on what I paid for it. A good honest deal for someone...

Sully75 · Jun 12, 2010

I was just kidding! Good luck. Gave you a bump, at least.

Colin Corneau · Jun 16, 2010

No love for the XPan? Not even **giving** it away???

Last few days, folks, and I reluctantly put this up elsewhere. I'd very much rather a commission go to APUG, and a fellow film fan get this camera.

Well, yes! Sure!
But you're not.

Well, if you're giving it away ... I'll take it

I love the XPan ... just don't have that kind of cash at the moment.

fotch · Jun 16, 2010

Well, only a film user would buy it, right?

Still available...yet another buyer backed out.

darxmurf · Jul 6, 2010

Gorgeous camera, I'v got two of them !
Go for it guys !

Q.G. · Jul 6, 2010

I certainly would.

If the price would be right.

Colin Corneau · Jul 6, 2010

The price is extremely fair and actually represents a small loss for me.

An email saying "I'll buy it. Here's my Paypal/money order/cheque" gets it.

An email saying "Gosh that's nice. Let me think about it. I'll get back to you next week" along with 2 dollars gets you a nice cup of coffee. I've had plenty of tire kickers, but oddly no actual buyers yet.

Sirius Glass · Jul 6, 2010

I was going to get a FlexBody first and then an XPAN, but I have decided to get a 4x5 Speed Graphic and a 4x5 Graflex Model D first. Just hang in there for a couple of years and then we can talk.

Steve

Colin Corneau · Jul 8, 2010

Enjoy your coffee, Steve...

FOLKS - I will pay shipping for this item to US and Canada. Also included is 10 rolls of fresh TMX-36.

This should not be a hard sell...I've signed up for an online auction site so it's going there if no joy here. Please let me make a donation to APUG instead of that!

I would really think about getting it if I couldn't simply crop my 6x4.5 or 6x6 or 6x7 or 6x9 medium format negatives to get effectively the same - if not "better" - results for insanely less money, while spending the same amount of money per frame shot, all whilst getting all the benefits of a system reflex camera, plus having the option to not crop if that is what I wanted for a shot or two!

billbretz · Jul 8, 2010

At least the folks who are bitching and moaning about someone else's sale, which they've no stake in, are giving it a bump every once in a while. Sorry you have to take the abuse, Colin, you've been more restrained and gentlemanly than I would be. Hope it works out for you and your eventual buyer.

Good point. I bet if I really tried I could crop the film from the 4x5 Speed Graphic or the 4x5 Graflex Model D and get the same effect!

Have a sense of humor, man...or if you won't, at least let me (us?) have one! This is obviously going to E-Bay for whatever reason (He has been saying so since June.), so some jokes about why it ended up there are appropriate, IMHO.

Poisson Du Jour · Jul 8, 2010

Permit me to make the observation that I think Colin's asking price is a bargain. A Hasselblad X-Pan in excellent condition (from an Estate) is available locally (pro dealer, Melbourne, Australia) for AUD$2,200 and that is just the basic body and 45 lens. CC is offering Hassy-branded filters and whatnots which would surely add a very significant amount otherwise, so ease back in arguing about the price. Interestingly, a USD-AUD conversion works out at $2,055, still way below a pro dealer's display price.

2F/2F you got that right. If must have been posted while I was writing post #22. I am glad you got my back.

I would like to have an XPAN but as I explained I have had some opportunities come up that rearranged my priorities. When I all unwinds I will relay the story. For now I will say that both Saturday and Sunday of last weekend I got to see and handle, focus, shoot, crank the shutters of Graflexes and Graphics in probably the largest privately held collect in the world. I thought that handling Hasselblads was hazardous for ones financial well being ... the strength of GAS strong it is ... must resist ... futile to resist it is ...
