A rangefinder Hasselblad and Fujifilm launched in 1998 that switches between 24x36mm and 24x65mm frames on one roll.
Fujifilm designed and built it, in Japan, and sold the same camera as the TX-1.
The panoramic frame is the native one. The gate is 24x65mm and the three Fujinon lenses, a 45mm f/4, a 90mm f/4 and a 30mm f/5.6, were computed to cover it; selecting the standard frame masks down from that rather than the other way round. The 30mm needs its own finder and a center filter.
The rangefinder moves its frame lines and parallax correction for the mounted lens and the chosen format. The body is titanium, exposure is aperture priority or manual behind a vertical metal shutter running 8 seconds to 1/1000, and none of it works without two CR2 cells. A 36-exposure roll gives 21 panoramic frames.
