Have you read
the review on this site?

There's also a review on luminous landscape.

I've got an XPan II and absolutely love it. No regrets in forking out lots of money for it. I hadn't used a rangefinder before, but haven't had many problems. It's very easy. The only thing is I sometimes forget to take the lens cap off, because when you look through the viewfinder, you aren't looking down the lens.

The quality of the photos are superb. I love being able to use standard 35mm film and switch between panoramic and normal size photos. There are difference lenses available, but I haven't found that I need anything other than the standard 45mm lens. It's definately worth getting the centre filter though. I was getting some vignetting at certain f-stops.

I usually just get the films processed only, then scan them in with my epson flatbed scanner and print out the shots I like. I've found this works well for me.

I went and did an XPan workshop with Experience Seminars which I found quite helpful.
