I use the peleng 8mm fisheye and the pentax 10-17 is on my wishlist. Stitcher is very expensive. Why not try PTgui. The more shots you take the higher the resolution (for prints). With the 16-45 it would take 30 shots @ 16 mm for 360x180 panos, only doable with a panohead like the nodal ninja or manfrotto sph.
