John, I can only comfortably comment on film (analogue) photography.

Printing images in a wet darkroom from negatives or positives shot with <35mm wide angles is as straightforward as with any other focal length. If you want the black "panoramic" bands as part of your image, you can either use a specific mask or your enlarger's masking blades (if available) to achieve this effect at the printing stage.

I hope I am not succeeding in making this sound complicated, because it simply isn't. Contact your darkroom supplier and explain what you wish to achieve - they should be able to provide the correct mask for this purpose.

Re: digital printing, type "panoramic" into the search field of this forum. You should come up with some interesting and informative options.

Hope this helps.
