As others have pointed out, it's just economics. Alas, the discount
doesn't seem to apply in the pro labs I use, but if I'm willing to
go back to a 1-hour lab, I can get a roll of panoramic prints done
at developing time for about the cost of three or four 8x10 prints.
So far I have not mixed panoramic and full-frame in the same roll;
I've either used a single-use panoramic camera or put a mask inside
a screwmount SLR with gaffer's tape.

Turn it sideways: guitars, swords, tall buildings, unusual perspectives
of skinny people (really!).
