Thanks! Even I can understand this.
On 645 film, you'll get a fairly narrow field of view that's typically considered well-suited to portrait applications.
Does this mean if I use lens shift to shoot & stitch together two images taken with a portrait-fov-style lens
eg about 80mm 645 into a panorama I will end up with a field of view twice as wide as one image
ie equivalent in terms of width to fov of about 40mm 645 wide angle lens?
If yes, then what this gets me thinking about is what difference the fov of a stitched panorama image taken with a portrait style lens
eg 2x80mm 645 will be from an image of the same subject taken with a wide angle fov style
eg about 45mm 645 lens -- apart of course from double MP and more background & foreground on the top and bottom of the image made with the 645 wide angle lens?
Rather than a portrait-style lens it would probably make more sense to stitch together 2 images taken with a wide angle fov LF or 67 lens that would deliver a much wider fov than a standard 645 wide angle lens, right? But the minimal focal length that at least the Zork adapter system can work with without a special custom adaption rules this out as an option.
I agree the logical way to find the answer to these questions is to do it. To do that I need to buy a lens or an adapter for one of the lenses I already have. Before that I am trying to figure out what the different lens options can deliver to augment what I can already do with my portrait and wide angle 645 lenses
Otherwise I may like harry potter just end up back where I started... it would not be the first time that happened
