Hi, you certainly can in Elements 7.
-Edit Screen
-File Menu
-New - slide to the right right under 'Blank File' should be a list of option in there is 'Photomerge - Panoramic'
this will open a new window where you can select the files you want to stitch together, just select them in any order and it does the rest like magic!

JJC hood for my DAL 55-300 arrived yesterday - fits perfectly both ways, actually sits quite flush with the body reversed which is neat.
Can't complain

[quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"]We do have some idea of the long term viability of weather gaskets in general, which are in our watches, compact cameras and now DSLRs and lenses.
In general, a service and replacement after one or two years is recommended by the manufacturer of all these things, but as we know no-one ever does this. So my waterproof 10M rated watch has not been serviced for years and is probably no longer secure.

I get the feeling from the LBA on this site most folks will never get to the point where their seal will have worn out! LOL

will that still be a feature in a few more years? let's be honest, the new lenses are complex and failure prone compared to the tanks they used to make... we still won't know the long term viability of the weather gaskets, then there is the electronics and micro motors... I suspect 25 year old DA lenses won't be a huge selling point... later on... so Pentax is gonna have to step thier work with tokina and hoya...

As the proud owner of a SMC A 35-105, (which you could use to invade a small country) you have to wonder...
The K5 should come with a cheap Prime (35mm 2.4?) as standard, then new users & reviewers will know exactly what the Pentax advantage is

Curious that no mention was made of older lenses, either Pentax or 3rd party, as there are a plethora of really long lenses that will fit given a suitable (and often cheap) adapter will find an extended life. My own longest is a Tamron 500mm mirror from 35mm days.

Indeed, is that not the biggest selling point - 60yrs of back catalogue lenses? 60 quid for SMC A 50mm 1.7 off ebay giving you the results of mulit-hundred pound new lens?Curious that no mention was made of older lenses, either Pentax or 3rd party, as there are a plethora of really long lenses that will fit given a suitable (and often cheap) adapter will find an extended life.

The DA 100mm WR macro is essentially the same with the weather proofing and a bigger better price tag - if your thinking about the £'s you maybe able to save by picking up the old version, I caught one in the sales as they moved on the old stock for the new version - best buy ever IMHO
