[Leica] three new panos

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (FRANK DERNIE)]

There seems to be a change in colour as the angle from the lens axis 
increases, even without a polariser. If you bought the Manfrotto head I have 
seen stitching together lots of shots taken with a less wide angle lens 
should work well.
I want one...
