would like to know how it was done.
any comments with regards to the lighting?Could be medium format, but the detail level is also possible with a A900/A850/D3X with a 12-24 lens.

Could be medium format, but the detail level is also possible with a A900/A850/D3X with a 12-24 lens.

I notice its stronger in the middle and appears to gradually fall off at the sides.
Havent done enough auditorium shoots to haphazard a guess.
picture was taken in 2003, does it help?
should be a medium format swing lens panoramic camera, usually is using Widelux 1500.
Panoramic camera advice
this looks like shot in an indoor auditorium, at the size of the group, not possible to much arrangement, and the lighting as well, guess the photographer planted the tripod on the stage and shoot down, so obviously the people both sides are much far away, hence the distortion. and since this is the pre-digital thingy, distortion correcting at post is not that accessible as in today.The strangest part is ... never corrected for the inherent distortion of the camera.
I've seen 'normal' swing-cam set-ups where the entire group was in a semi-circle around the photographer, but perhaps they either wanted a distortion effect. More obviously, they apparently did time to do the shot.
However, these are usually super sharp, minus the artifacts. The photo looks blur, but I have no idea what size the photo is.
Sony has no T/S lens,
no conventional cameras and lens able to get this kind of angle coverage except fisheye lens.We do, 3rd party though.
But yes, the pic is from 2003, so would be a MF with a wide angle lens or T/S?
