Murat -

I picked-up a Roundshot 35/35 on eBay recently and have run a few test rolls
through it.  So far it just seems too easy - but great results!

I just tried the QTVRMakePanorama2 utility and after figuring out sizes and
rotation of the original scan image it needs (vertical CCW90 deg.) then it
worked great.  I love not having to stitch panos for simple outside shots.
I haven't experimented with indoor lighting yet - but so far I love the
camera.

I'll post results on my web site soon - just have to finish up my current
book project this week so I can free-up time to update it.

Jeff
