Thanks. The M0110 was junk when I got it, the I ternals completely destroyed by water, basically hand wired every key to a new controller, and made it USB C at the same time. Such a nice keyfeel

The xpan ratio is magic. I love it. I owned a beautiful Fujifilm TX-1 for a while, but I sold it as I was terrified of it turning into a pretty paperweight. I currently don’t have a panoramic camera, but that will change. There’s rumours that Fuji will bring out a digital xpan in a couple of years. In the meantime, I might work towards a Pentax 67 and get the panoramic adapter.

They already have its called the Fuji GFX50r - and you can use Hasselblad X-pan lenses on it - and unlike the Hasselblad X-Series - you get a focal plane shutter not a an ES one as in the Hass - but seriously the Fuji lenses are fire

omg You’ve risked cancellation of your XPan Club Card with that little truth bomb… Nice vid. Great provenance story, definitely a piece of history. An adapter hack is always cool to hear, but your ground glass demo makes it far more striking, thanks for going the extra mile. (One thing that may well be true with the xp as is for the Fujis; the shutter count is not absolute like an odometer, but more like a trip meter for high volume shooters to remind them when a maintenance / CLA is recommended, and the service centre would flick a lever and reset it back to 0…) Dog says hi to your cat 😉

Haaa, I'll lock the doors so they can't get me. Thanks, I wasn't sure anyone would care and just wanted the adapter results, hence the note on where to skip too. Interesting about the odometer, didn't mention that in the manual 😂 Haaa, Ned (cat) is going to have to make an appearance soon I think.

An SGI machine is oddly analogous to an Xpan. Kudos on the intro. Drew me right back to the 90s. 🙂

Good point. Both ahead of their time and sadly gone. I actually have two, merged the parts together to make a working o2, and then used the empty case left over for my new PC. Hearing the bootup chime of the o2 was a major memory lane moment

@@thefilmlaundry OK, that's pretty awesome. If I'd held onto half the "ahead of their time" machines I've had over the years, I could populate my own museum of quirky computer hardware. The Perq, the Bitgraph, the Sun 3/60 (once my daily driver). Managed to avoid the Amiga somehow. And others. But then I'd have no place to live. Hmm, something like the enormous pile of camera equipment I now have. Uh, let's change the subject...
