Hugin is simple to use, but is capable of a lot of complex stuff which is hidden such as measuring lens distortions.

PTGui is about the best but costs about £88

I've always found ICE to give poor results. For a free program Hugin is very good.

Ok if you don't mind the big files

According to this article 11 and 12 aren't needed 10 should be maximum quality..

He's moved abroad and I'm quite sure he sold everything before he left.

Thanks for the extra information. Nice to know that JPEGs can be used as the finished image.

That's very interesting. Does RGB being restricted to 24 bits (16777216 colours) cause any problems?

Nothing wrong with mail order selling. Virgin one of the biggest companies in the world started from an upstairs office selling magazines and LP's by mail order in the early 70's

The ultimate would of course be Pentax Centres in the High Street competing with the Pound Shops They could have dedicated areas for say.....
Twig Photography
Flower Photography
Cat Photography
Bug Photography
People eating chips in public
etc.

I've still got the Chinon badged Tomioka 55mm f/1.2 in the 42mm mount.
By far the best of the f/1.2's due to the rear element being cut to miss the mirror
This gives the lens it's unique bokeh.

Some examples on Flickriver LINK

OK although Dixons had a monopoly on Chinon

I've still got an old Chinon which spent years bouncing around the boot of my car... Tougher than old boots. Still works
