Re: Looking for an EOS lens recommendation for panoramas

Where you using software to correct the distortion and stitch the images? Or stitching manually? Panorama Tools seems to have no trouble at all correcting the distortion from my 24-85, but that would be quite different to correcting a 10mm.



I've experimented with my 10-22, and as noted elsewhere found the
extreme perspective at the low end made stitching a nightmare.
Aesthetically the results were disappointing too. As a landscape lens
I love the 10-22, especially in the mountains where the extreme
wide-angles can really emphasise the sense of space and scale. For
shooting multiple image panoramas it's not ideal, though.
