OK I was speaking primarily of panoramic aspect ratios. All stitching method that I know of require an amount of overlap. If I'm making a hand held series I usually overlap about 30% into each frame, it's obviously easier to get away with less overlap when using a tripod. If you are shooting and pivoting one foot the only real problem is the cameras buffer speed (when shooting a large series) I suspect that if I was shooting LF I would rarely be using the whole frame. My primary aim wouldn't be to simply emulate a LF aspect ratio but to best capture and portray the scene. The flexibility inherent in mosaic image capture relating to aspect ratio and resolution is it's attraction to me.
