Panorama hosting sites

My question sounds very simple: where can I host and show my panoramic images?

Panoramino is dead, gigapan is dead... I tried 360cities, momento360, roundme - but they support only full 360 degrees images. Kuula seems to support flat panoramas, but has a limit of 16k pixels in any direction.

Any suggestions about hosting?

Tamron 500mm f/8 SP Mirror (55B) problem

Ok, thank you everyone for comments and suggestions. I initially suspected multiple reflections due to something wrong inside the lens. Now, I'm almost sure in the root cause.

There is glass separation in the secondary mirror. The mirror itself consists of mirror + glued lens(es), and now they are partially separated (see photo). Due to asymmetrical separation, resulting picture is also asymmetrical. Multiple reflections on the glass-air interface are producing that pattern.

I can try to shadow "bad" part, leaving only central part of the mirror to work, but in this case lens will become F/16 :), or something like.

It doesn't matter how I shoot, from the hand or from the tripod. It is not motion blur. I have also Samyang 500/8 and it doesn't produce such halo. Tamron always gives halo from bright/high contrast objects. Two photos above are just one of the best examples.

The same happens with sun flare on the water or cars.

Hi all,

Recently, I got Tamron 500mm f/8 SP Mirror (55B) and I found that IQ is far below that I expect. Lens produces some kind of starry pattern, see photos.

Lens itself seems to be in perfect conditions, as I can't see any defects on mirrors and glass.

Any ideas about root cause and how to fix it?
