The short version - IT WORKS..!

The long version - the Olympus 8mm fullframe fisheye covers about 180 degrees "diagonally" from corner to corner. soo since I like to shoot spherical panoramas, I promptly turned the camera on edge and diagonally. first by hand and later using a prototype bracket. You can see a couple done this way on my pano-page the cattle panorama from Dallas was shot hand-held using a philo-pod and the cactus was shot with the bracket prototype. I am working on version 2 of the prototype if you are interested send me a email.
