Subject:Re: Nikon D800 test with 16mm and 10.5mm

Thread:


Just a couple of thoughts.. all meant to be constructive.. I took delivery of the e version a week ago...I'm still fooling with it in the studio so no out in the field work as yet.. I have gotten to a couple of conclusions so far... Holding it still and lens choice are critical to meeting ones expectations. What I'm trying to say is that I think, at least in my case, we will have to raise the bar in a few areas to get what it will deliver. I think were all going to have to spend a little time with this camera... At this point I'm not sure that it's a rig I'd want if my primary purpose is to do pans..

  J?rgen,


   as you said is a test shoot, and I did it the same day I got the camera. Maybe I can made other settings on the workflow to improve it but I'm happy with the results... 


  I have some "real" works this week so I will try it again and show you




  :-))

    Thank you, Ignacio.

    Of course we are talking about a test shoot here and my judging has of course nothing to do with your work which is highly admirable.

    But looking at the panos I can see nothing that would make me want to buy this camera and use it with either of these lenses.

    So no joke here, but as I know that what I see on the screen is highly dependent of some key facts which I do not know I started to ask.

    Probably it is only the maxzoom factor in krpano that is too high so one can zoom in to a pixelsize > 1. But it's also the sharpening and probably the process to compensate dynamic range that add some signifcant outlines here which to me spoil the impression of "crispness".

    Maybe I am a bit ignorant here, but when I zoom into a panorama to the max (especially to judge a killer camera) I expect it to be _really_ sharp. 

    Sorry for bothering, but that was just my impression.
    Maybe I should have kept it for me.
