Colin is way ahead of me. Incidental to brooding about wide-angle 
lenses, I'm just starting to think about panoramic prints and 
wondering whether there are any conventional formats for their 
presentation, especially if those conventions have implications for 
equipment or produce derivative economies in materials.

However panoramic prints have usually been shaped, I'd also like to 
have references to relatively small examples of panoramic work. If I 
try my hand, I'd do my own matting and framing. And I don't have much 
room to do it in. For example, at about 11x14 in 16x20, I'm "maxed 
out". What I'm really wondering is what those limits might become in 
the case of panoramic images.

Thanks.
