I am sort of obsessed with the XPAN format these days... It reflects on the photos I produce I guess.

Very interesting. I never knew a still camera like that existed. Kind of like the effect of CinemaScope. Correct me if I am wrong...It is like putting two 45mm lens shots side by side to give you twice the coverage horizontally?

What a K3 with a Sigma 300?

I am confused. I was under the impression the shot was taken with an xpan

I cropped the K-3 to the format of an XPAN picture. Sorry for the confusion.

A very cool B&W photo, for sure. I like your crop and the conversion is perfect.

Thanks, no wonder the picture was so sharp. I was about to go out and find and xpan, but now I don't have to.
