10.5 mm Calculations
Landis 2006-Jun-10 00:51:42
Can someone please verify or correct my following calculations?
I'm trying to figure out the best resolution and number of shots to
use with a couple different cameras using the Nikkor 10.5 (shaved or
not, depending on sensor size).
--
Camera: Nikon D100
Multiplier: 1.5x
Resolution: 6.1MP (3008x2000)
Max 360 Resolution: 8,045px wide
Shooting Pattern: 6+1+1 (6 around, zenith, and nadir)
Camera: Nikon D200
Multiplier: 1.5x
Resolution: 10.2MP (3875x2592)
Max 360 Resolution: 10,426px wide
Shooting Pattern: 6+1+1
Camera: Nikon D2x
Multiplier: 1.5x
Resolution: 12.4MP (4288x2848)
Max 360 Resolution: 11,456px wide
Shooting Pattern: 6+1+1
--
Camera: Kodak Pro SLR/n (no adapter, needs shave)
Multiplier: 1.0x
Resolution: 13.5MP (4500x3000)
Max 360 Resolution: 7,770px wide
Shooting Pattern: 4 (could probably get away with only 3)
--
Camera: Canon 20D (needs adapter, no need to shave)
Multiplier: 1.6x
Resolution: 8.2MP (3504x2336)
Max 360 Resolution: 10,059px wide
Shooting Pattern: 6+1+1
Camera: Canon 5D (needs adapter, needs shave)
Multiplier: 1.0x
Resolution: 12.8MP (4368x2912)
Max 360 Resolution: 7,542px wide
Shooting Pattern: 4 (could probably get away with only 3)
----
So the major advantage of this lens on a full frame camera is only
less photos, because even with double the resolution of a Nikon D100,
the Canon 5D can't output higher resolution final panoramas.
I love the idea of fewer shots, but I'm just trying to make sure I
have all the facts and assumptions straight before I make any final
decisions.
Thanks for any input!
