Explain to wife? HA!
I still have an xpan. Love it getting prints made is a challenge, but I have 
a Minolta scanner with a modified carrier, so that is possible.Also had 
modified carriers for an Omega enlarger, but no more darkroom.
It is an excellent camera with great lenses.

Hi LUGgers

Long time lurker that finally has a question for the group...has anyone
here had any experience with panoramic photography and what advise would
you share?

I think it all started with my Voightlander 15mm on my M6.  I really liked
it's wide perspective but I kept having trouble filling the upper and lower
thirds of the frame with anything interesting.  I tried the digital route
(in camera and software stitching) but they missed the decisive moment
shots I take for granted with the Leica.  Then I saw some images from the
Widelux and became intrigued.

Does anyone here have any experience with a Widelux (or Noblex or Horizon)
or is panoramic photography another mystic art I won't be able to explain
to my wife?

Thanks, John
