Thanks for the tip Peter!

Subject: Bad experience with Samyang 8mm fisheye
roger_d_will...
Send Email Send Email
 
No-one commented when I asked about the Samyang 8mm fisheye, which I intended to
use as a replacement for my Peleng. I went ahead anyway, and took home a Pentax
K-01 and the Samyang last week. The camera was fine--just right for panos, as I
had thought, but the Samyang was a bitter disappointment. I couldn't get sharp
focus at any combination of distance and lens setting... I had heard that
occasionally the lenses are adjusted properly before leaving the factory, but
when I suggested to the assistant in the shop where I bought it that they should
send it back for adjustment, he said "the people they have representing them in
Japan don't have a good reputation for that kind of care. They would probably
send it back to Korea, and you would have to take another chance with the
replacement they might send." In fact he recommended me to take a refund, and as
they didn't have another Samyang with Pentax mount in t he store, that was the
best they could do.

So I can either continue to take four-around using my Peleng in a ring mount on
a monopod, which is my preferred mode, or use the Nodal Ninja to set up my
Pentax zoom 10-17mm fisheye for six-around using a tripod. <sigh>

I am another who profited from Pat's generous help and probing correspondence.
He had shared some details of a major project he was working on for a great
potential customer and it is sad to think he  will not be able to follow through
on that vision.

He had promised to take me sky diving if ever I visited and poo-poohed the idea
I might be too old at 74. I shall miss him. A great and generous guy.

It's taking a bit of getting used to--having continuous "live view" instead of
what I thought of as a "proper" viewfinder. More disconcerting was the strange
way the image seemed to swim around inside the frame. I later guessed this must
be the image stabilitzation mechanism shifting the sensor around. This is going
to make the use of templates questionable, as the movement is not just a few
pixels! I hadn't realised that this would absolutely require the use of "shift"
adjustment in opotimization as the center of each image will almosst certainly
be different from the ones adjacent to  it.

I am happy to have image stabilization built into the camera, as old age is
making my hands a lot less steady than they used tp be. I also think it could
help me to get good results from spinning the camera on top of a pole and using
the burst mode (six shots per second) to take a series of shots automatically
for panoramas without having to use a very high shutter speed.

Mirrorless operation should also help avoid camera shake... I'll keep the list
posted on the results I get.

If I remember correctly there are tutorials on the web that show how one can
adjust the focus barrel by oneself. I did this also with my 14mm Samyang.

There is very little difference shooting with the Samyang 8mm and the Pentax
10-17mm at 10mm.

Even if you can shoot 4 around +1 zenith with the Samyang it is not something I
would do handheld or even with monopod as it does need a very presize rotation
at 90 degrees.

Image stabilisation is an absolutely NO NO with any kind of tripod.
You should always turn it of for panoramas.

If you use it on a tripod it will do the opposite as it is supposed to do.

Thanks, Hans. But by tilting the Samyang until the diagonal was vertical I got
more lateral overlap and had absolutely no problem with stitching/seams. But the
panoramas were so soft they were useless.

For my friends at Panotools NG who still prefer to forego FB (where this was
originally posted):

  Here's a link to one of my recent works which shows a group of Somali refugees
waiting for medical treatment at Melkadida refugee camp in southern Ethiopia

http://www.bavaria360.de/waiting/warten.html

  Melkadida refugee camp is located in the south of Ethiopia close to the border
to Somalia. Melkadida is one camp of five in this area and houses 40,600
refugees in 9,300 households (which means families in tents). 70% of the
inhabitants are under 18 ears old.

  Because I wanted to learn and report about what live in such a camp is really
like, I was invited by a German help organization which is running a health post
there to live and stay with them for two weeks.

  You can imagine that this was a challenging venue by all means and
unfortunately I yet haven't had the time to work on most of the images and
videos I grabbed there. This one here is the first one I published and hopefully
one day there will be a complete "story".

  The lucky people who can make it to the IVRPA NYC 2012 conference will get a
detailed first hand report.

You are highly encouraged to post any comment especially if you want to discuss
the use of panoramas for editorial work in general or improvements for this one
in particular.

Warm regards
Jürgen

Hi all

 

Does anyone have some experience using the Nikkor PC-E 24mm (or Canon) for 360º VR panoramas?

What about the dedicated support for Nikkor PC-E series lens from Agno's, or other support of this kind?

  

Thank you,

Fernando, there is no need to advertise my business but to protect my work. So
if anybody thinks he needs to "reuse" any part of it without asking people will

Usually I do not use watermarks on the work I publish.
But with this one I felt it was necessary.

Very nice work!

Image encryption does have it's obvious advantages... or are you also preventing screen grabs with the watermarkings?

Yes, of course encryption would be an option, but I had also screengrabs in
mind. With that resolution and a large monitor one could easily get some nice

Thank you, Hans, but it may not be quite such a clear situation as you think. I
never use a tripod in the usual way. I always use a monopod but sometimes I use
a mini-tripod at the foot of the monopod to hold the foot in the same position.
(I used to have trouble with the foot "walking" as i rotated the monopd.) The
little tripod I use has a ball head that I screw into the bottom of the monopod
and I slacken the clamp so the monopod can rotate about a fixed point . I use a
Velcro'd bubble gauge on the monopod to keep it vertical, and I usually turn it
by hand. I may have to modify this procedure a bit now I need to shoot six
around--harder to estimate 60 degrees than 90! But it will never be like the
case of someone with a rock solid tripod and a setup so stable it could be used
for making templates.

Why am I wrong to think that it is useful to have image stabilization to remove
what hand shake this setup may still induce? And why wouldn't it be a good thing
to use on a camera that is being spun to take a burst of photos for later
stitching into a panorama?

Image stabilisation is designed to correct for the kind of vibration produced by
hand-holding a camera. Most IS systems if mounted on a tripod (sometimes even a
monopod) will get confused by the different frequency of the vibrations and
actually introduce *more* vibration than if you turn the IS off.

A few high-end systems have a switch for tripod-mode but in general IS and any
kind of support doesn't mix well.

roger,

not all image stabilization systems are born equal, but according to the k-01
english manual (from http://www.pentaximaging.com/support/download-details/869),
page 101, it is fixed to off when using either the self-timer or the remote
control, as i think you would, on top of a pole.  so if i'm reading this rite,
you don't actually have a choice...

hth
cheers,
pedro

That's interesting, Pedro. I am also grateful for the link to the English
manual. I got the Japanese one of course! And although I made my living for
years translating Japanese instruction manuals into English, it is not exactly
my idea of fun. Much easier and faster to find what I want in English!

Hello there

I would like to invite you to the following pano of the Church of the Italian community in Montreal


made by Jean-Pierre Lavoie, often times contributor

I restored the church from 200 to 2003 but never had the chance to do a pano

The church is unique, Guido Nincheri, architect and painter, draw, built, decorated and did ALL the furnishing and decorations of the church from 1933 to the middle 1950

The apse and walls are made in real "alfresco" while the central dome is made in encaustic. The apse's fresco is famous because in 1933 Nincheri had to represent the most famous italians of the the notably, Mussolini and his 4 hyerarches, the Abruzzi's Duke who went to the Pole on a blimp, Gugliemo Marconi and many more saints and personalities

Nincheri was sent to concentration camp in Petawawa, Ontario,  being accused to be a fascist because of this fresco but he was then released when it was proved that he was compelled to add these figures to the original fresco plan,

The church is now a National Canadian Monument

Enjoy

Hi,
I would like to see outside picture of the church to make sure that it's the same I saw some years ago.
Thank you!

Ran into an interesting "Gotcha" trying to use the perspective change
tool for filling a nadir today. I was taking a panorama indoors where
I could be sure there were lots of close-by details to reveal and
slight parallax problems.

I knew the control points had to be on a flat horizontal plane for
this to work properly, but I hadn't figured on the effect of my wife's
pride and joy, our highly polished wooden floors! The perspective of
the nadir-inset reflections is all wrong, so I have to go back to
MAJOR cloning as I am now using the Pentax 10-17mm zoom at 10mm, and
although I pointed it down 15 degrees that is still one LARGE hole to
fill! Ouch!

Better not to use perspective for nadirs any more than you have to. At the
moment I have someone mark my lens on the nodal point with a finger, remove
my setup, reposition the tripod and reconfigure it's center column back into
perfect position onto the floating finger. I still optimized VP for any
slight errors in alignment. You only have to worry about shadows and having
a tripod you can reconfigure.  Or you can use a nadir adapter on your
spherical head to swivel it out if you're using the ninja series. Major
cloning is annoying and doesn't even begin to compare in time with doing a
reshoot.
