Re: Maybe a better solution to your UWA problem:

What kind of photos will you be taking with your UWA?

Architecture, landscape,... . What UWA is for anyway.

Yes, among other things, UWA is useful for that; but, there is a better solution that gives you better image quality and far better detail than any UWA and that is a panorama bracket.

Imagine 50° up, 50° down, 50° left and right coverage with a 25-, 50- or even 75mm (m43 format) lens all in the same image with detail and IQ comparable to an 8 x 10 view camera.

If you are serious about eye-popping detail and IQ in architecture and landscape, forget the UWA. The UWA is just a toy when compared to stitched images.

You can buy a commercial panorama bracket for an exorbitant amount of cash or you can make your own for as little as $65. Just do a little research on the net for DIY Panorama Bracket. I looked at many plans around the 'net and YouTube and decided it's not that difficult.

Good luck with your UWA solution.

Alex this post of yours is very interesting . I shoot wa ( from 9 to 12 ) for real estate interiors , and architecture in general, and I'm NEVER satisfied with the output , even on tripod all level and treated with pt lens . Where can I get a good tutorial on this pano bracketing and have you yourself used that technique ? Thanks .
