G'day Mark. I've been thinking about panos lately. I don't have
a pano head, so trying them handheld. Having trouble I think
because the lens I'm using is too wide and getting like a fisheye
effect in each frame which is not condusive to the stitching.

What lens/focal length should you use?

And to minimise the effects of that, should you shoot with
horizon dead centre, as opposed to rule of thirds?
