Skip Hugin.
Hugin is a pain to install, but once it's dialled in it's just as powerful as the pro version of PTGui with the benefit of a $0 price tag. That said I primarily use PTGui. I made this one on the weekend with the K20D & 10-17 FE for a mate of his recent exhibition hanging (Very rough auto everything) <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Images/K20D/Pano/0072.mov> I didn't have my pano rig with me so I wasn't rotating around the len. I've since redone it with some human intervention & it turned out sweet.
