What is the difference between a pano & an ordinary wide angle? If it is
just the crop, then why bother to buy a pano?
But I understand there are manytypes of panos; so which type is actually
able to give me a wide angle ( around 200 degrees) without a distortion
& by not just rcopping the image?

so let's just say that it is generally a ratio and this includes the narrow
mind.
simon says! thank you, ahmad.

This is getting out of hand.

I sent you, Simon, a private message regarding use of fonts, _only_. I
understand, and understood when I sent the initial message, that you have
problems with you vision, which I as a fellow photographer (also with 40
years experience) sympathize with deeply. However, there are ways of
writing in larger fonts yet sending unformatted text, just as there are
ways to increase the size of text that you receive.

You have now misquoted me, distributed my message to a number of people
directly and now have taken the message I sent privately and posted it to
the list. Additionally, you have now accused me of narrow-mindedness.
That's a new one, and I fail to see how that can be deduced from a request
for using fonts in the usual mailing list standard way.

Will you please drop it.
