You can tell easily: pano is XPan, non pano is M9. Oh wait, that's right, you don't like flash. Sorry. OK, here are some links I posted here in the last few months: Nitt Witt Ridge, Cambria http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121112-L1017378-Edit.jpg my first mag cover: http://www.bbimedia.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_56&products_id=543 http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/Beach-2012-S/content/images/large/L1017052.jpg Not quite Manhattanhenge: http://www.richardmanphoto.com/PICS/L1016364.jpg etc. My "Voice of the 99%" Leica M9 images have won Merit Awards in the B&W Magazine, and 2nd Place in the Soho Gallery in NYC Annual competition etc. Those and $3.50 get me a cup of chai at Starbucks.
