Under the heading of "are you really sure you want to do that"

I have 3 days before a big family reunion in the west to devote to hardcore photo. I am thinking of spending it in/around Zion (the narrows specifically) and perhaps bryce or some other nifty geologic formation S.E. Utah, etc.

I have been playing with a nodal slider and fiddling w/ panoramas & stitching, etc.

I am thinking of renting the set of T/S to work with - a week prior to get an understanding of how they work and use them in the panorama effort at several locations.

My goal is to produce a very large & detailed pano for the apartment in which I am forced to live from M-F in NYC.

From my read on the lens review the 90 is top notch in the resolution, the new 24 is darn good, the 45 no shame either. I am thinking w/ overlap the 90 will require 9 x the number of exposures.

Any helpful hints, thoughts suggestions, observations that I have really lost it this time?
