In real life I'd prefer horizontal photos any day.

But when it comes to cels I am rather character-centric. So all the pan cels I've bought (excluding one) have been vertical pans. All the good horizontal pan cels I might want have been bought by another collector.

So it's hard to say how much I would want horizontal pan cels since they have never been available for me. :(

Too true Birdie, I've got some nice vertical pan shots of character and equally nice horizontal shots of skylines, thus I couldn't vote either way.

When I think about it too much I consider the positives of both orientations, the wide ones are very filmic & panoramic, which are cool and the long ones appear as banners reminding me of wall hangings and dojo scrolls etc. It's all good!
Out of the gloom a voice said unto me;
"Smile and be happy, things could be worse".
So I smiled and was happy
and behold;
things did get worse...

From what I've seen of thrm, I tend to prefer vertical pans to horizontal. It's not a consideration for me on which cel to buy, though- it's just that I've seen more vertical pans that I like than horizontal.
