Unable to build one working template D200 + 10.5 + Adjuste

[Mc_Fly]

Hi,

I have one D200 + 10.5 + Adjuste and I'm unable to build one working template.

But if I take a panorama, and I go to Align images every time, then optimizer give me a "Very good" results, and normally I get 0 or one small stitch error.

Looking at my last template pictures it seems that there is parallax error at the edges, so looking for settings I discovered this page:

http://www.hugha.co.uk/NodalPoint/Index.htm
"The Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye shows the same characteristics as the Sigma 8mm Fisheye lens in that the Front Nodal Point "slides" along the principal ray and moves closer to the front of the lens as the angle of view increases.

The Nodal Point for this lens also varies according to the focus and has less of a spread when close focused than when focused at infinity."

Maybe my problem is because I was using +oo and now normally I'm using the hyper focal focus (25.4 cm) , is not it ?

Or , he says that nodal point is changing with angle of view, maybe is it normal to have parallax at the edges ?

Can anybody using this camera + lens confirm the Adjuste settings ?

Thank you very much

Hi,

It would be great if you could post some image sets, along with the templates you've created. I'll be happy to take a look.

You mentioned you don't have a pin registered plate, so this could also be a problem.

A sturdy tripod is required for batch stitching ... and it's generally recommended not to use anything that could flex between the head and the tripod (leveler, quick release mounting plate,...).

I'm using the hyper focal focus (25.4 cm)

I'm not sure about this setting. The hyperfocal distance is aperture dependent.

Use BARNACK to determine the correct values for the apertures you commonly use (f/8, f/11, ...) : http://www.stegmann.dk/mikkel/barnack .
