Carsten, They are a free set of tools called 'Panorama_Tools', written by Helmut Dersch. You can download them (wintel or mac) from: <http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/> How to use them? Use the 'remap' tool, remapping from 'Fisheye hortz' to 'normal', using the following co-ordinates for the Leitz 16mm lens: FOV long axis = 140-degrees FOV short axis = 92-degrees (FOV = Field Of View). BTW, don't think because they are freebies that they aren't any good. Quite the opposite - in fact the latest 1.5b4 can give image quality an order of magnitude better than similar commercial software! Regds, Andrew Nemeth VR Multimedia Photo Java www.nemeng.com/vr
