Using Stitching for WIDE Angle Shots

I don't have a lens wide enough for some of the interior shots that I need sometimes, so I've started stitching here and there for things other than just panoramas...
I took some of these yesterday at a tanning salon - and if you've ever been in a typical tanning bed room they are long, narrow, and SMALL.
Still working with my methodology on these, I'm just handholding several shots and then stitching them either in PSE7 or MS-ICE.

This one ended up being a little funky / fisheye looking, but I was maybe 18" away from the bed (the full res of this shot is 65 megapixels / 258mb):

I like how this one looks 'normal', the room is SMALL, I think this was 4 shots stitched:

    I think these are very nicely done.

    Can you please tell us what camera body, lens and software you used to create these handheld stitched images??

    Thanks! I was using a D200 with the 18-200 VR kit lens on these. Also used Microsoft ICE to stitch them. I believe I was in the f5.6-7.1 range, ISO400-800 on these as well. Wireless SB600 CLS flash shooting through an umbrella wherever I could hide it.

    The one that says "MATRIX" was a combo of about 12-15 shots.
