New & naive. Using a tilt/shift for panos now, does well but not wide enough.
The question: When to rotate the camera (tripod only shooting) or when to use a slide for wide panos. Probably, unwittingly, a monster of a question.
Reading "Pano Photog" x Arnaud Frich but can't find the answer yet.

I don't really understand a couple things you said, so I figured I'd wait to see if anyone else would explain it, but since no one did...
I don't know what you mean by tilt/shift, or sliding. What do you slide the camera on? The only way I know of to take a 360 pano is by rotating the camera on a tripod.

Pat:
An Fx Tilt shift lens on Dx sensor camera llike mine project a huge image. (See nikon site e.g. for their 3 tilt shift lenses.)
In fact, the image is >twice as big as the sensor.
Now the shift function simply walks the image across the sensor in as many increments as desired.
Always in focus.
For example, with a 45mm shift lens at ~10' from a 6 foot table; you could shift the lens from ~2' to the right and 2' to the left of the table (10' total view) without moving the tripod, slide or anything but the shift slide in the lens.
A 25mm shift lens at 1000 yards would yield a very wide undistorted landscape image.
It matters not how the tripod is oriented.
A pano's slam dunk image with zero knitting issues.
These lenses are expensive, however.
