Love this thread!

I don't have a panoramic camera (outside of a little minolta 35mm with a pano mask that's fixed in place), but I do really enjoy this thread, and seeing how people react to the different composition that is needed. Very inspriring.

Xpan I with 35mm PC-Nikkor lens

That is such a cool picture Yaron - I wish I was there!

Tell me, do you use the PC qualities of the 35 with the xpan? This seems like such an ideal system, especially - I would guess - for shooting in vertical format. Like, you'd never have lines anything but parallel if you wanted them that way. I'm jelly.

Sorry to tell you Chris, but you can't use the PC aspect of the lens when it is adapted to the Xpan. The lens NEEDS to be centered in order to cover (or nearly so) the width of the Xpan frame, and secondly, not being an SLR, you would never be able to visually determine the correct amount of shift to use.

What WAS A BIG SURPRISE, was how sharp the 35mm PC-Nikkor is, especially between f/4 and f/16, and also (not surprisingly for a PC lens) with no noticible distortion.

It is sad, but I have decided to sell my Xpan and lenses - so this posting is more like a "COMMEMORATIVE" posting to the 35mm PC-Nikkor! (I just don't shoot 135 film anymore...)
