These examples were taken with a Fotodiox EOS shift adapter and various lenses.
Although at first glance the images may look like they were cropped from the 4/3 format they were not. Two or three images were taken, shifting the camera body for each image. The lens is stationary and mounted to the tripod via the tripod mount on the EOS adapter. This gives overlapping images which are then stitched using Photoshop CS4. By keeping the lens stationary and shifting the body, parallax error is eliminated. You get seamless stitches of both near and far objects. The stitching process is very easy and using the adapter is simple.
The advantage of stitching vs cropping is that you get much higher resolution. The long panos are about 24mb, roughly 3000 x 8000px.
