Actually the overlap makes it look more like a deliberate montage than the bad pano you suggest -- I like the effect. Consider some selective tone adjustments to even it out -- I think it'll look great.

I have the feeling I should follow the yellow brick road...;-)

Thanks Waddy. That's exactly what I'm doing (see last night's post in the " Unconventional filters..." thread). Problem is the clicks weren't very audible. I think I fixed it.

To me, it looks a lot more interesting than a technically classy stitched pan. The way the images slosh into each other is great, creating their own world of fantasy to stir the imagination. Definitely good stuff.
My thoughts are that if you wish to work out a way to have the advance calibrated a little better, you may try spooling a roll of 35mm film exposed with a regular camera into this camera, so you can see how far you have to turn the film advance to move ahead one frame. Check near each end of the roll, and if it's a lot different at the long end and short end, adjust as you go and maybe it will work out.

Love how everything blends together. The blur and sharpness is nice.

It 'sort of works' very well. For this side challenge it works brilliantly.

I like instantly knowing what this is...without knowing what this is...in detail. The old flavor feel in the tonality enriches my experience.

The tube is needed to focus the lens. Yes, believe it or not, this image is in focus. Every optic has some focal length associated with it. This one is probably about 150mm (roughly the length of the paper tube).
