Shooting XPAN crop on Fujifilm GFX
The Hasselblad Xpan is a much loved film camera, famous for its panoramic images. The camera used two 35mm segments to create an image. Jump forward into the digital age and camera manufacturer Fujifilm has included an xpan crop (65:24) inside its range of GFX cameras. I thought it would be a bit of fun to use the crop on a visit to my local beach.

I love the Xpan crop on the Fuji. It works well for images lacking a strong foreground or perhaps are more linear with their subject matter.
