Err...Pentax DA 10-17 f3.5-4.5 FE ? At 10mm you can do a full 360 FOV in 4 shots (I prefer a lot of overlap to help with correcting the distortion, so I generally do it in 5-7).
Are your friends picture just spherical panoramas rendered flat (ie equirectangular projection)? Such as this one from the RealViz website: <http://stitcher.realviz.com/gallery/objects/jpg/enviropix4.jpg> (BTW if you view the above shot using FSPViewer, you get the benefits of a QTVR without the need for QT :-) Cheers, Dave On 10/17/07, Jens Bladt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A friend of mine (camera club member) recently showed us his 360 degree > panoramas. > Made in Stitcher unlimited with a 10mm wide angle (Nikon). > The panoramas were very short - not long thin strips.
