Hi Fike
Thanks for your feedback.
I use a Hasselblad H3D back on a Cambo wide DS so there is no program mode
Just manual. Jayney. I don't think I've used a program mode in about 25 years
. The distortion you see hasn't actually got anything to do with the stitch. The camera is not rotated as you you go from one image capture to the other. You move the lens left or right, up or down. (or a combination of all) The images are practically seamless as you lay one on another so you don't have the image curvature like on the image you linked to on your website once stitching is made. CS5 makes perfect stitch 99% of the time even when you have patterns cross over between the images. Here is an
article about the Cambo wide DS on LL that will help you.
Here also is a
link to an image on my website, which is probably my best example of zero distortion along the length of the image. (Have a look at the top of the sign located along the edge of the image) Click "view larger image" to see it in a larger size. Mind you that was taken with the 28mm Schneider which is rapidly replacing my wife as my favorite thing in the world. (Although my wife isn't a thing
)
In this BW image the camera is located on a bridge looking more or less straight. As you go to the edge of the image circle when shooting with greater lens movements the subject matter (in this case the rocks at the bottom) may look a bit stretched. Although with the 35mm lens (24mm in 35mm format) it isn't very extreme.
