My girlfriend bought a small lensball recently, of course I had to try it out at the local park:

An interesting little piece of kit Ferry! :encouragement:
My current shopping target is a panoramic low light lens, I get grumpy when the Wintry Weather closes in and even grumpier when I'm on one of the high points on the Ocean and have to pan around to attempt to shoot the entire view.
And I really hate 'stitching' as well!

Microsoft has a free program called ICE (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/computational-photography-applications/image-composite-editor/) which is pretty good at stitching images together.

The lensball is nice and cheap alternative for a fisheye lens, I might have to purchase the larger version for myself..

Then you would have 2 balls - one small and one large.

Thanks for the link Ferry, I'll give it a go!
I'm using Corel Aftershot Pro as I refuse to touch anything Photoshop, and it is excellent for RAW files, but that's the main strength of the program.
And who can knock back a Microsoft freebie?
