No, but with Autopano Pro you can refocus (within reason) on each row gaining a pretty amazing DOF. Here's a six panel (3 rows 2 columns) mosaic in which I refocused on each row to get the foreground grass in focus.

Jerry Greer has used tilt/shift lenses on Canon equipment to create some amazing panos. Hopefully he'll chime in...

David, thanks for posting the sample. That helps. When you say refocus within reason, what do you mean by 'within reason'? Also, are you using a zoom or do you find a prime lens works best? I am using a camera with a 1.3 factor so I am assuming that something in the range of 35 to 50 would work best to avoid a compressed look?
(Within reason). I knew you'ld question that. Use plenty of overlap so that there is no part of your stitched image for which none of the source images can supply an infocus area. The degree of overlap will depend on the DOF present in the sources.
The oak image in my example was shot with a 70-300 zoom at 70. I have also used a 24-85 as short as 35 with good results. I haven't found any issues with prime vs zooms.

David, do you have any other images that I could look at? Or perhaps you have some on your website or in your portifolio and you could tell me which ones.
Thanks for your help. I have downloaded the Autopano program to give it a try.
