Autopano pro is 99 euro. How much did you pay for your camera, lenses, computer? How much did you used to pay for film, and developing your film into negatives and prints? And suddenly a wonderful, well-maintained, and bug-free tool that represents tens of man-years of work, a tool that you can use _forever_, is too expensive? If you can't use PTGui (or Autopano Pro) properly, how the hell are you going to write your own Stitcher? (And Hugin is not *that* harder to use than the paid programs) Meanwhile, Hugin is free, has the best photometric correction of *any* stitcher (including any of the paid ones), and might have a few bugs now and then and a UI that is a bit harder to use, but it also works perfectly. Your idea that it can't deal with "normal lenses" is complete nonsense. :-P+1. I heaved a big sigh but didn't want to go into that but I'm glad you did. (I don't even have fish-eye lenses)
I only have normal lenses: 28-75mm F2.8, 80-300mm zoom, 500mm telephoto. Have shot many strip panoramas and a couple of 2-3 row ones with them. Have shot some HDR panoramas with the shorter lens. Hugin works fine for me. UI isn't hard to use at all.
Haven't tried any commercial programs for panoramas. Tried the GIMP's tool for making panoramas; Hugin's much better than that.
Maybe some people just want the automation of a pano tool I saw on an iPhone once. Start pano tool. Point, click, point click until you reach end of pano sequence. Then click done shooting (or something like that)?
