Hasselblad XPan II / Fuji TX-2
The Hasselblad XPan II is an updated version of the Hasselblad X-Pan. The biggest improvement in the X-Pan II is that it displays the shutter speed in the viewfinder frame, allowing easier selection of shutter speeds while metering or display of chosen shutter speed when the Auto mode is set. Other improvements included better infrared film tracking that was less prone to causing fogging when infrared films were used in the camera and a redesigned mode selection that allowed for multiple exposures. The XPan II also moved the exposure compensation feature from an analog dial on top of the camera into the mode menu on the camera's back. Some users prefer this while other's do not. Late version XPan II cameras also replaced the mechanical cable release socket with an electronic socket that required the Hasselblad cable release accessory. It is worth noting that all Hasselblad XPan II cameras also have an extended Bulb mode capable of longer shutter speeds (up to 540 seconds) than early model XPan I cameras, which topped out at 30 seconds (though late version XPan I cameras have extended bulb times too).
The Hasselblad XPan II was also marketed under the Fuji brand name as the Fuji TX-2 and is the exact same camera.
