Mega Panos

Those that follow my experiments in photography know I'm rather fixated on creating large, flat stitched, panos.

One of my set ups creates panos that are equivalent to shooting with a sensor some 103mm wide and 25mm high, ie an aspect ratio of 4.1.

This is achieved, using my Canon R, by coupling a Mamiya 645 lens, to a Mamiya to EOS 30mm (15/15) shift adapter, to a Laowa Magic Shift Converter.

The set up looking like this:

To illustrate the resultant image size and quality, I just took this 7 image pano with the above set up, using my 45mm Mamiya 645 (film) lens. I found 7 images covered the various vignetting created by the two shift adapters.

Note the above is scaled in pixel size and JPEG quality so it can be viewed online.

As far as I'm concerned, the above set up is the ultimate pano arrangement, using 645 lenses and two shifts. Taking a standard 35mm camera, and turning it into a super wide pano set up.

As usual I welcome and comments on this post or any of my posts.
