That's a good idea. Shows that all those bodies could have had a larger than APS-C sensor too given that stitching the images without moving the camera gives you a larger image. John K

Good idea but a kludge! Automate it please, Ricoh! Is it really a tilt-shift effect though? Or does it just create a larger field of view?

It's the same as a rising front on a view camera. Same as a shift lens. --

Looks like you can do it on the K-30 as well. Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out. :) http://c758710.r10.cf2.rackcdn.com/files/support/manual/1340052607_Manual_K-30_EN.pdf p153 of the manual or p155 of the PDF. I wonder how much extra width this gives a lens. Looks like quite a bit. If I...

Have to see how much extra it gives the Sigma 8-16mm. Given there is in camera stitching with some camera brands it surely could be automated. Get full frame from an APS-C camera, or almost! Thanks for posting the links. I was aware of it but hadn't thought how useful it could be. John K

Yes doing it in camera would be really cool. I've never done much stitching in post. I used to do it with some Canon own brand utility which seemed to work ok. Looks like it can't be done in Lightroom. This might be worth a look:

Photoshop and Elements can stitch images. There are many others. John K
