Default Ordering wide-angle prints

I have a few images (for example some landscapes) that I took with my wide angle camera setting; however, I can't find anyone online who offers wide angle prints. If you upload the wide angle image, it is cropped.

Has anyone found a place that prints these?

Also, what do you do about mats?

Print size has nothing to do with focal length. A photo taken on the same camera at 10mm will have the same aspect ratio as one taken at 400mm. Probably 4x6. Are you trying to print 8x10? That'll always be a crop.

I think she means panorama prints.

EZPrints does big ones: http://ezprints.com/Prints/panoramas/default.aspx

Default Thanks, Doug.

That's exactly what I meant. I just needed the word panorama.

If they get cropped by the printer, just add black/white/whatever colour borders so that it's a 3x2 image again. Then when you get the photo back, crop off the borders with a sharp knife; or leave them on, whatever you want.
