An offset of a few millimetres can already mean that closer objects cannot be aligned.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even if you only intend to photograph wide open spaces, you'll get difficulties because the images won't exactly add up to 360 degrees, which makes the pano want to buckle.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This product is of limited use, unprofessional, and overpriced.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Yocto</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:26:51 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
