Only thing that annoys me about the dial-
There should be an XPAN crop mode not a scale for it. Fuji created one of the damn XPAN cameras- Use the name!
RustyRus you're likely either too young or didn't own a Hasselblad (like I did) back then. But when Fujifilm made the XPan they also made their own branded and well known model called the TX-1. So your suggestion of using the badge-engineered XPan name, rather than the proper 65:24 format designation, doesn't sound good does it.
Everyone calls it that
Fuji should embrace it and put it on the dial. Sounds like you disagree and thats ok- But seeing XPAN on the dial of a camera I am going to buy instead of 65:24 sounds pretty damn good to me-
Even the link you sent me to calls it the XPAN. in the title.
RustyRus, I've provided you with the link below for your next party. So when the topic comes around to the 100RF's format dial nomenclature you'll be prepared to impress the young creatives about the 65:24 format. You'll notice the iPhone app developer has the depth of knowledge to give the XPan & TX-1 co-billing as the inspiration.
You can then celebrate your new gained knowledge while impressing that attractive you had your eye on. You're welcome :-)
