This was made with an M-lens: http://gallery37564.fotopic.net/p7677532.html I found that for some serious work it's not too bad having to stop down to get the right shutterspeed. Anyway, for Panoramas like this, it's better to use manual exposure - that is same values for each shot - otherwise it may be too difficult to stitch them together, due to changing colours from shot to shot. The actual shooting is the easy part (except from getting the tripod exacly in level :-), including pressing the green button once for each panorama.
This photgraph was made from 28 vertical RAW-shots - each 17MB, converted to TIFF's in Phase One SE, then converted to JPEG's, then stitched in Photo Vista 3.0, edited and compressed in Photoshop and finally published. It's not yet perfect - but I'm getting there....:-)) Pentax *ist D, Pentax-F 1.7X AF adapter and SMC M* 4.0/300mm, Manfrotto tripod -and a lot of software.

Noone said it's true Av and if they did, their problem. Is this mode good enough for you? Cause it's not going to get any better. Try the bloody camera. Kostas
