I think you will be far happier with the real thing.make one for me too...

I made a 6x12 with a 90mm lens, but its not very discrete, then again, Ive used a Mamiya rz out and about on the street and that ways a ton and is like a canon going off.
Wouldn't be too hard to adapt a medium format to a double frame 35mm, sure theres a DIY youtube vid somewhere.
I wouldnt be too hard on yourself, bit more practice and you'll get the hang of it.Some people can’t shoot the format.

Just crop the 6x7 to an extreme horizontal. You will have the added bonus of more vertical leeway.Any 6x7 can duplicate the Xpan format just by loading 35mm into a 220 magazine. You can do this at any level of sophistication you like, from primitive (guessing at framing) to "wasn't it designed to do this?" level. An RB67, heavy and loud, will never pass for an Xpan, but I have a 90mm, and can (over time) afford a 65 and 50 (which will nearly duplicate the lens range the Xpan can wear). And the camera has no electronics to fail without warning, doesn't even need a battery.
Those expressions are just priceless!View attachment 247201

Yes, seen the youtube vids, easy peasy. Still the xpan look like a sweet camera, way out of my price range though, which is roughly $100 for a 35mm camera, even if I sold off all my 35's be still struggling to get a down payment on one..Any 6x7 can duplicate the Xpan format just by loading 35mm into a 220 magazine.

Great picture, love the bubbles.....think I see you in them, or that might be the drugs.Those expressions are just priceless!
More summer moments from Edinburgh at festival time. Just going with the flow as the moment unfolds.

My little $5 Pentax Espio will crop your 35mm to that aspect ratio although resolution isnt very good......and its no good for Instagram.
And I like 1:2 ratio aswell.

I recently updated my portfolio site with volume six in a diaristic series I call Flow. I don't post much about it anywhere because I'm not much into self-promotion, and because I know this kind of photography (which I'm a little loathe to call "street photography" for many of the same reasons that made Garry bristle) is not to everyone's taste.
I enjoy it. Maybe you will too, and I most definitely welcome your feedback!
Yes, you can see little reflections when you look really closely-I'm pleased I managed to get that.Great picture, love the bubbles.....think I see you in them, or that might be the drugs.
Ha, thats my Gretl, GESCHRIEBEN VON LOKIFIED was obviously not worthy.
Here's another photog from Australia who named his Leica If 'Gretl' ...
