PanoTools: Re: nodal point 16mm nikon full frame fisheye? Thomas Rist 2004-May-05 18:05:54
Hi jeff b,

have you seen Michel Thoby's tutorials on locating the nodal point of a 
fisheye?
http://michel.thoby.free.fr/
He shows clearly, that there isn't only one nodal point for a fisheye lens.
The truth is: The nodal point of a fisheye lens is moving along the 
optical axis.

Maybe, this is the reason for your problem.
