What are you using for a wide angle lens?

Not using a wide angle, I use the "stitch" program in Photoshop Elements 10. Very cool option they have to create a panoramic.
All you do is take a series of pictures, moving the camera a little on a horizontal plane snapping pictures as you move. (I had the camera on a tripod, which made the process pretty easy, I just kept moving left to right on plane) You don't have to worry about the "edges" overlapping because the software crops and matches the "seams" for you and gives you back a finished image all neatly matched up.
The one I posted today was a total of 7 images, and you can blow the picture up as much as you want and can't find the seams.
Photoshop Elements was the best $89 I've ever spent for helping make the pictures we take look good. I does have a long learning curve, but there are 1,000's of video's online that will teach you all the stuff Elements can do.
