You tweaked my curiousity Craig, so I taped up my glasses
so I was looking through slits like a swing lens does.
By turning my head rapidly I could see the scene and
it looked jusk like my Horizon images. Does that
prove anything ? To me a swing lens has no distortion
but looks distorted and a fixed lens panorama is
distorted but looks normal. It's possibly just a matter
of preference.
