You know, I just went ahead and did this anyway.

Here are the scans:

The first image is a scan of a 7x7 full-frame print (which is noticably
un-spotted -- sorry) from a Tri-X 6x6 negative, scaled down to fit on
a computer screen. The second image is a detail of the scan (150dpi on
a cheapo flatbed scanner) which shows some of the motion blur in the
background I was talking about.

It's not a big deal -- I just wanted to show that it is indeed possible
to pan with a waist-level finder. You get used to the inverted motion
after a while. The brain is an incredible thing.
