Emmanuel: Best wishes to you too. Incredible,you even did not use a tripod... Beautiful panorama, well done!. The camera elevated position and the subject-camera distance helped the software to stitch the frames without significant distortion. You chose an ideal subject for a stitched pano. I have the 2.8C loaded with TMax 400 B&W film and the 3.5F with Portra 400 color negative film, I'll use one of them for a pano I have thought for some time. I hope the weather helps tomorrow for a short fluvial trip.
