This guy appears to be interested in VR panoramas, something that I'd like
to get into sometime. That's probably why he uses the 24mm with the 6x6
format, from the note regarding Panorama Tools he's probably straightening
the circular image and stitching to make the VR scenes on his page. I admire
anyone who can make Panorama Tools work, its interface is much more obscure
than even Vuescan to me. I gave up and bought Photoshop Elements, though it
is much less capable (if I only knew how to use PT) it does the stitching in
a way I can make work.
