Well done!
Is this done without CF?
Or compensated in PS?
One of these days, maybe many, I'll submit to color processing.

Thank you Randy! These are all without CF shot using Caltar II-N 90mm f6.8 at f22 and f32. I have not adjusted for anything in PS so what you see here is what is on the slide and honestly, I really don't think you need a CF with this setup because the lens seems to have sufficient coverage for 6x17 at f22 or higher.
I would love to see you do some color work as well. I got the JOBO CPP2 a few years back and it has made color work a breeze and now I am even starting to tweak processing for some personal adjustments.

Nice work holding the shadows (I am sure the drum scan helps!). I like the last one you posted best. Impressive that there isn't any flare from the sun above the frame that was probably within the image circle vertically. That is the one thing I struggle with on my Mercury, which with my ultrawides can catch serious flare from reflections just inside the back of the camera.
Man, those panorama cameras look like fun! I got to shoot with a Fuji version a couple of years ago for a day, but it was just too expensive.

Thank you Bryan! I am sure the drum scanner is helping keep the shadows pure which is a huge plus with drum scanners. What most don't realize is that slide film actually has write a bit of shadow detail but most consumer scanners just can't scan it but it's all there if you look on a lightbox. Drum scanning, particularly the Tango, pulls everything out. As you know, the original camera had flare issues but it's amazing what slight angle changes and blackout paper can do to eliminate them.
Peter, the Fuji and other cameras do get expensive indeed. That was main driving reason for me to create one for myself and this camera has come out really well in the end.
I can't get enough of shooting trees in vertical pano composition. Hope no one minds that this has become a bit of repeat from me

Very cool Pali, but hard to view on my 24" landscape screen.
Are you turning your monitor to vertical?
Maybe bring down the pixel count a bit.

Thank you Randy. I did post a big resolution and even for me, its takes a screen scroll to see the full image. I will be more mindful of this in the future and post smaller resolution for vertical panoramas. Part of me really wanted everyone to see small yellow flowers that get lost in the green if I post too small but I think it would still be better to see the entire image and composition.
Here is another image where I tested the helical focus on the 6x17. This was focused at about 5ft at f22.
