It’s just my personal style. The test I do is to crop the image and see if the edited parts are vital to the image. I prefer to have the final image at exposure and not crop the final print. It’s petty I agree! Else I would just shoot in a rectangular format and crop to pano. BTW those two are good shots and well composed panos.

Thank you! (Nice shots, btw). I defo agree with you mostly. I've even had my TX-1 in my hands and thought, just as the shutter opens, "wish this was my normal camera". But, them's the breaks. Definitely gotta be thinking in pano mode.

I just think there are times when you create composition by limiting what the user sees... not simply filling the whole frame. portraits like this are pretty obvious choices.

On a similar note, curious about what people do when they realize that their pano frame is just too wide. (I would rather mine be a cinematic 2.35:1, but then again I shoot street almost specifically). I'm not afraid to crop a bit, and I try to keep it at most to 2.76:1 (Ultra Panavision 70 ratio) but also OCD kicks in when I realize some are different than others. how's that for petty? :D

Please excuse my lack of experience with the Fuji or Hasselblad pano cams... I understand it's possible to choose 2:3 24x36 format also... can that be switched in mid-roll?
 
It can Doug, what little testing I did with the first roll I put through mine.
I shot panorama until the frame counter said 5 or 6 shots remained and I then switched from panorama mode to 24x36 and shot the remaining frames "normally".

Also worth noting it's quite easy to tell what mode you're in as the frame lines change. ISO setting? Easy to inadvertently change and not know until it's too late.

Yeah, the Xpan adjusts mid-roll to show proper remaining frames (counts down) depending on panoramic or traditional 35mm aspects. It's a really nice feature and well-designed...

Pretty nifty... Thanks to you and others for this confirmation. Then one is easily able to switch formats at will depending on how one wishes to frame the composition; i.e. not "stuck" making panos of non-pano scenes. :cool:
 
Lovely Italian restaurant I found while wandering around Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago.
