Flek 20/2.8 and a greek church

I had a lot of fun with this lens in Hania, Crete, yesterday. This is a single shot, hand-held in poor light, so it is wide open.

It has produced some really good panoramas, with Hugin proving amazingly effective at recalculating the angles. This is three frames, effectively turning the Flek into a 10mm rectilinear wide angle lens.

Beautiful church, I like #2 pretty much. Not so easy to make this kind of pictures I could do only with tripod.

I had to do a couple of minor repairs where the stitching wasn't perfect. An amazing thing about Hugin is that it doesn't just join the photos together, it stretches them as needed to match up and it even stretches them in different ways according to whether you want a fisheye, a rectilinear or various other kinds of projections. That means it makes the lens distort in different ways, some of which create mathematically correct views that can probably never be captured with straightforward camera optics.
