The link takes me to the Pentax Forums home page, not the specific thread?

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.

You mean the sensor could be the same size as the back of the camera! 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.

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

Thanks for correcting the link - have not been very well lately (combination of problems!) and so did not notice the error.Slightly old news, but...

Nevertheless it has generated some debate!

K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

Looks like you can do it on the K-30 as well. Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out.

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 am using a 28mm lens with composition adjust what lens length would give me the same image without composition adjust...?

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.

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: AutoStitch

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

I don't have either at the moment so I'll probably try to find a free / open source solution initially.

Not tried it but Microsoft ICE is said to be pretty good, and free!

Except the main reason the sensor can shift is to allow shake reduction to work - if the sensor were larger in the first place that would man you would need an even larger image circle if you wanted to retain sensor shift shake reduction.
