Subject: [Leica] OT: Technical Question- Panning vs. WA Lens

They are always talking about the advantages of using a Widelux type l
swing-lens or slit camera* over just using a wide. A wide shrinks everything
making it all seem far far away. While a slit camera just gets it all and
you just look from side to side in the wide format.  It seems close. This to
me is a gold mine of image making. And I've never had a Widelux or circuit
camera.
But I find now with the ability to stitch and merge images later with
different parameters its a dream come true.
If I click once and I feel like I needed more I just move to the needed area
and click again. But as you know I normally don't like it looking seamless.
As it seems to me to be more interesting when you can see each shot for what
it was.
