Please keep in mind that these shots are bokeh panoramas consisting of multiple shots (in this case 40 frames + 1 frame for the car). This helps a lot with the 3D...
Ah. The truth comes out! haha! That explains a lot. But I do like many of the non-stitched images in Bastain's review. In the right circumstances with the right subject, the lens gives a very unique look.
I might have to dig out the XA-1 and Bell & Howell for a little reunion...
I am using the Visionar solely for stitching. They give me consistently a look that I like but I find them too difficult to use for normal shooting.
