dear gene-since you already have screw mount pentax 17mm lens, or did they later make it k-mount?, look around for the screw mount 15 well corrected, straight lines
15mm. it came two ways. first version has aspheric construction. then then cheapened it without lowering the price. look at 35mm  fish eye for pentax 6x7 as a lens you can take a slice from the middle. years ago an independent japanese lens mfg made drawings for fisheye to cover full panel 4x5 but felt there was little market. your examples shown in pictures of turnpike ford are excellent because they show  same subject treated with different panoramic approaches. jazz it up by including minolta with panoramic insert and even disposable single use panoramics. heck, we shall all regard you as "the world's leading authority" without designating your category. simon says. if 35mm is sufficient for your panoramic work put 24-50 on minolta body as a training camera or precise  framer for other than turnpike ford wherein you are showing differences in taking techniques. i thought the name t.p.f. . showed sheer brilliance. how did you ever come up with that? signed-simon
