Obvious not an XPAN, so what gives ???
One can change the aspect ratio "in camera" to 65:24 to shoot like the fabled XPAN.
Yes you can use any modern day digital camera and or crop in post to the aspect ratio 65:24.
However, I am all about the photographic experience involved in actually taking the image equally as the end result the picture.
The 50R is "Rangefinder" style camera and when you crop "in camera" to 65:24 it allows you to compose your composition through the viewfinder much in the same manner as a true XPAN...giving you the feeling you are truly shooting an XPAN.
(You can always undo it if you shoot in RAW when processing the image).
For those not in the know it was a joint venture between Hasselblad and Fuji back in the late 1990's and early 2000's to create such a unique 35mm film camera and only three lenses are available for it..30mm, 45mm, and 90mm - google it!
In the meantime the 50R is the closest camera to a modern day XPAN.
I think I still need a wider lens to have the true effect but this comes close for now...
Thanks For Looking,
