I don't think the two are connected Steve, but I suppose the 360 degree shot is a logical development on its own.

I've always liked fish-eye images though and the zoom with its almost-rectilinear long end is quite a versatile lens to own.

That was one of the holiday cottages we stayed in, near Exeter.

I have been doing a daily blog on EPZ for some time. Today and tomorrow the subject is Pentax and the Fish-eye lens, not in too much depth, but maybe of interest. Feel free to make comments!

It does say though that the decision was made because of difficulty obtaining raw materials, so it wasn't a lack of sales. I can see this might be a problem going into the future, especially as we seem as a society to be increasingly wary of noxious chemicals. Hopefully alternative materials will continue to be available long term.

I noticed the movie stabilisation was now back to mechanical, which is something that has been asked for for a few years.

Here in Tyldesley just damp and dull. It used to snow every year, but not seen anything seriously snowy for a long time.

Why does everybody say "impact" when they mean AFFECT?
If you impact something you have an impact on how it behaves, or indeed you also affect it. English is a very rich langauge with many ways of expressing the same ideas.
