Real easy, buy a Mamiya 7 with the panoramic option.  Optics are first rate
(I think better than Hassy, and yes I have used both) The Mamiya 7 will
provide panoramic format using 35mm film of 24mm x 65mm.  And the nice
benefit is that is it very light, excellent rangefinder, and can also use
120/220 film.

I didn't include Pentax (or obviously big, heavy "studio" cameras
like Mamiya RB67, or Fuji 68, etc). A folded Makina 67 isn't even
close to the size and weight of a Pentax 67.
My point was that there are other ways (besides the Hasselblad Xpan)
to get 65 x 24 panoramics and still have options to get a larger image
if you want.
