Hi there,
So I'm a big fan of the Xpan and have 2 bodies. However, over the last few months I noticed a strange issue that began to arise with both of them. Sometimes when I load a roll of film and line the leader up with the green "leader tip" line inside the camera it will randomly REWIND the fresh roll back into the canister. I have been sabotaged by this frustrating issue a few times now. It's happened on both of my bodies, but one in particular seems to do it more often. I tried looking all over the web for an answer to this problem, but couldn't find anything. Could someone maybe shed some light on this annoying issue?
Thanks!

Never heard of this one. If it helps, I know a very good Hasselblad technician (in Toronto, Canada but hey that means you get a currency discount) who did fantastic work on my XPan.

First of all, to prevent the potential loss in case of this, set you camera rewind to rewind but leave a tip
I would guess it's your rewind button got stuck somehow? Maybe try to pull the tip out bit more?
