- The only thing the matte really does is make it obvious to the print
- machine operator that you want panoramic format. I imagine, if the lab
- were friendly enough, one could simply say, "Please print frames x, y,
- and z as panoramas.".
-
- Indeed, it should be very easy to say, "Please print the whole roll in
- panoramic format.", without need for a matte at all. The only problem
- is composing in the viewfinder. If you have a matte with grid screen,
- or have an A2/E with the matte focusing screen with panorama lines, it
- should be easy.
