It seems for 6+2 shots you need no larger than 14mm rectilinear lens or no
larger than 17 mm fisheye lens.

An 8mm (sigma?) is also an option for few shots (3 or 4), and might get you a
good resolution panorama with the D800.

Hi,

Does anyone know of or have for sale a Sigma 8mm f3.5 lens for sale? (Nikon fit)

Thanks,

Andrew.

this will be cool to align a pano using IMU data. unfortunately, you'll need a
$500 IMU to get data that is even remotely usable.

Maybe in a few years it will be a reality for hackers, and maybe in 5-10 years
(seriously) it will be a part of cameras.

Oh, you can already do it with a smartphone camera, of course :) (if you have
the proper kind of app that will write this IMU data to the image metadata)

one of the keys to offering cool hardware on kickstarter is being able to offer
it for less than $100. then you can get a lot of virality and impulse buyers.

kickstarter is really awesome.

Jeff, I wouldn't expect any sensibly priced system to be capable of providing
perfect template working.
My purpose at this stage is to be able to place the images in roughly the right
position, much the same as using a grid, simply to avoid false matches when the
images are not aligned at all using normal automatically placed CP's.
The magnetic sensors in use currently are quite adequate for the above, but the
speed of updating could be improved, at present the systems tend to work on the
GPS concept of providing async. updates rather than taking the reading at the
point the shutter is pressed, but this will require the GPS and compass systems
to be integrated with the camera, but that we will have to wait for!

How would you rate the usability of this board? The resolution sounds
pretty good.

resolution != accuracy!!!!

the sensors on your phone have at least 0.01 degree resolution, but the results
are crap unless you do some very smart filtering.

and even then you will get gyro drift.

the reason an app like photosynth works at all is because they are doing a lot
of realtime image matching to keep the camera viewfinder aligned with what you
have already shot. don't let the simplicity of the user experience fool you -
what they have built is an engineering marvel!

generally, the pitch and roll data can be fairly accurate without any very
complex filtering, because they are using gravity. but the yaw - this uses the
compass or the gyroscope (and the accelerometer to some degree) and both of
these are subject to drift, or being wrong.

look for ben newhouse's tech talk if you want to learn more :)

Yes, both versions run smoothly here. It is very nice. However, I can
see a faint line from zenith to nadir just opposite of the sun - the
seam line possibly?

Nominal, yes. In practice I doubt a Sigma 8mm is up to the camera
resolution, especially not in the outer regions.
