They don't pay out much on annuities anyway
Whatever you do don't delay it.... get the money as
soon as you can. They don't pay out anywhere near
what they paid out years ago

Have a look for legal tips on this site...

he did mention some on the radio....
I think one was to start smoking Ha! Ha!

Must be esier to stich the corners with a fisheye.

They mention the lens at the end I think it was an 8mm fish-eye.

This seems to be the PDF Manual

Novoflex have a system where the camera is tilted at
45deg. They reckon it needs less shots. Here's a video
showing how to do a spherical panaorama in 2 mins.

Just had a quick play with Farstone Lanczos3 it does produce
less jaggies so it might be OK with the K-5 II S but the
images are far too soft and you shouldn't have to re-sharpen
them

In CS3 bicubic is really soft, but bicubic/sharper is OK
except for it's poor handling of anything that can produce
a jaggy such as ropes (on the yacht picture mentioned above)
steps, roof tiles, bricks, fabrics etc. I don't think that will be
much use with the K-5 II S if it already produces jaggies

The free Image Magic (which I already use) seems to be the
best compromise

That's true of all forums

The webs littered with complaints about the resizing in PB

This is just one thread, and it contains a shot of a yacht which
is the type of shot that would show the difference between the
K-5II and K-5II S.

The original can be downloaded search for pbase on page 2.

I've just tried Farstone Viewer it's not bad but the 1280W
shots it produces aren't as good as 1280W shots I produce
from an editor.

Does the viewer portion use Lanczos3 ?

Some people might find this page interesting....

If that's the case people should be printing them to a minimum
A3 size rather than pixel peeping

I've never seen anyone complain about the weak AA filter
on the K-5 causing any problems

I'm more concerned about the algorithm that a viewer program
uses to display my shots 1280 pixels wide.... they all seem to
be just a little bit better than useless I don't
suppose it's worth the software companies developing a decent
viewer.... nobodies going to cough up £50 for it when they
can get some junk for free or use the junk in Windows

It's well known that the current Kenko TCs won't
work with SDM.
