Medium format vs panoramic(buy pan or crop medium) in Nature Posted January 9, 1999 The answer to your questions depend on how much you are willing to spend and how much time you will take to get your panoramic photos. I had a 6X12 back for my 4X5 but sold it because it took too much time to use. I drove up to Alaska last summer and ended up printing photos from my Hasselbald to 16X20 and then cropping and matting them to 10X20 image size. They turned out spectacular. I don't like masks because they lose image info that cannot be replaced (35mm and 120 masks are infamous for this). Shoot full frame and crop later if you wish.
