Would be a possibility, but then I'd still need
multiple shots to get a full 360 image. The
beauty of the EyeSee device is that it only
requires a single shot in combination with special
'unwarping' software...

The 135 mm would probably not work because the
focal length produces only 0.8 inches field depth
(maximum distance to subject (18 inches), f=32).

I'm using a tripod, and the camera is mounted
onto the EyeSee device with a special bracket. It
looks quite sturdy, but I should probably operate
the shutter remotely (rather than by hand, as I
am doing now). Eventhough I used the timer, the
whole construction might still have moved during
exposure.
Talking about long exposure times... my OM-F
(OM-30) only goes as far as 1 second. Beyond that
it's all manual. Is there a way to PROGRAM longer
exposures using the manual setting? (Or can I
only achieve those long exposures by using a
(stop)watch -- by hand?)

First I'll try to get to grips with it by asking
around, if it comes down to experimenting with
different lenses I might take you up on that
offer ;-) I'm in Amsterdam.
