I'll give it a try, but why fisheye lens is necessary? Can't I use a regular lens, say 16 mm or 24 mm or 50 mm???

Thanks, Boris. Writing a detailed tutorial is possible, if it hadn't
been done already. In short:
You would need to get the following stuff
- Nodal Ninja 5 pano head
- rotator
- leveling device
- nadir adapter www.nodalninja.com
- good tripod with a short center column
- ptgui www.ptgui.com
- pano2vr www.pano2vr.com
- fisheye lens like the DA10-17
- your favorite Pentax DSLR

The websites above have all the info you need, combining it all is the
challenge.
I suggest you start with the software and a regular tripod and tripod
head to capture a panorama outside, even handheld is possible. Only
with objects close to the camera like inside buildings and bad light,
a pano head is necessary.

The difficult part is capturing the floor (nadir) and removing the tripod.
