i have made some 'planet' panos with a non fish-eye lens, but it was a _lot_ of work and struggle, not to mention processing time. i used a 24mm rectilinear lens and needed to take 186 (!) photos to get a fully spherical view in hdr (3 x 61). the number of photos could be minimized a bit, maybe by 36 (3 x 12) to get the total to 150 (3 x 50) or so. i used that experience to convince myself to spend some money on a full-frame fisheye. i got a 15mm canon fisheye, it can do an hdr fully spherical pano in 27 (3 x 9) photos in a couple hours (setup, take photos, copy to computer, develop, stitch and blend). the resolution is a bit lower than using the 24mm lens, but unless you are printing them on the side of a building or require extremely high resolution/detail, there is no need for higher resolution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
