Carsten,

I have also been experimenting with this new software perspective correction 
utility in Panorama Tools which is a freeware Photoshop plug-in available 
from:

http://www.fh- 
furtwangen.de/~dersch/perspective/Wide_Angle_Perspective.html

With this tool I can convert full frame 16mm fisheye shots to corrected barrel 
distortion free images with the equivalent view angles of a 9.5mm rectilinear 
lens (124.4 degrees HAOV by 103.3 degrees VAOV), it makes my 
15mmf3.5 images look like telephoto shots :-)

Cheers,
