There are a few more photos here taken with a range of lenses... http://www.flickr.com/photos/timsmalley/sets/72157618974308457/

I had to use the kit lens for the panorama because my 28-80 wasn't wide enough to get the whole of 101 into the shot comfortably (important when you factor in stitching it together). I'm hoping to go back later this year to see some friends that I didn't see this time around - if I do, I'll be taking the pano again with a prime lens to get much better clarity/sharpness.

Which prime is that? Personally I found the Canon 16-35 much better the 20mm prime I have. There would be a very good site for comparing lenses here. The 50mm f/1.4 is a very good choice if budget is a concern, just means more stiching.

I would also suggest that you use a pano head of some sort, parallaxing is horrible to try and fix. LoL Gigapan. :D
