Could really use some user input on the various One-Shot panoramic lenses before I pay my very hard-earned sheckles.....

I would use Pelle's model, but I don't have his skill level and patience.....

Please????

My experience:

I recently purchased a One-shot system from 0-360.com and must admit I am not incredibly pleased. I hear that it is preferrable to remotereality, but that doesn't mean a lot. Images shot in slightly less than ideal conditions turned out poor, very out of focus and grainy. I purchased this to get an idea of ease of use and quality as we expand and bring on new photographers. At this point, I most likely won't be going with this solution. 0-360 has no return policy, however, in their defense, are working with me to try to fine-tune to my camera for better quality. With the images that it puts out, I think they would have to be shown in a viewer not much bigger than 3 - 400px to look crisp.

I would have to agree. My first purchase was a one 360. Not happy with the resolution quality. Have tried to work with them, but there is not much you can do. Read my other forum topics, I have had the same problems and have moved on to fisheye lens.

I tried the Remote Reality- it didn't even make it halfway up the tree.

The Remote Reality and the 0-360 are the best reviewed of the class; I wouldn't hold out much hope for the rest.

I put 3 0-360 images into

relay.cameraware.com/cwtest/0360demo.html

They are a little fuzzy for a $500 - $900 item.
