| Ninety plus frames, expensive lenses, this interesting thread is way over my level. I do believe more people should try mosaics. As an astrophotographer I often use them since with telescopes your field of view is not very flexible.
I use 2-4 frame mosaics for daytime use, often when I lack the right lens for the job. When my wife and I went for a photo walk through the Yale University campus I only brought my DA 50-200 kit lens. Many buildings would not fit at the distance I could stand, so I'd take a two shots and stitch them together with Panorama Maker 3. This simple program came free with a Nikon camera and handles all the common problems (brightness, curvature, scaling, rotation) often without user intervention.
