Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul, 

I'm coming in at the end, did look back several messages.... What is this about... The Zony (Zeiss/Sony) looks great. In a couple of lines how many pictures were stitched? I'm assuming it was an horizontal stitch of 3 frames. 

I did do a 9 stitch (3 top, 3 middle, 3 bottom) hand held of the famous Colorado River horseshoe curve with a 4/3 Olympus, and of course that was better than a single Nikon FX frame... Naturally, if I did the same with the FX, that might be better than a single Hassy frame.... etc.
