can I use these lenses successfully...

[Daniel]

I recently had my car broken into and some of my gear is gone. I'm down to the NN5, the Nikon D90 with the 18-105 lens and a 35mm f/2.8 portrait lens. I have the Autodesk Autostitch and PTGui and photoshop (CS4). The question is... Can I successfully create a decent 360 pan with this software and these lenses? I don't really have the cash to buy a new wide angle or fish eye at the moment, but will be able to if I accept this job and can do it with the gear I have...

Any suggestions or opinions will be greatly appreciated!
