Now let's consider the optical axis. Are you referring to the true optical axis which is already in the picture or else the virtual optical axis of the virtual double-super wide angle lens resulting from stitching. If thats the case, one simply would add double the width on the side away from the shift but and duplicate that layer and then mask out the new black space on that side only.
Sorry but this is like Chinese reading for me! LoL!
More seriously thanks all for your most valuable opinions and suggestions.
As already stated, stitching is not an option, in regard to this search of a wide. There are 2 reasons:
1- I f Ineed or wish to go on the the stitch way, I already have all I need for…
2- Nowadays, we have more and more pressure from clients to shoot in 1 day what we usualy did in 2 days, this means that we don't have time to prepare the stitch (neither to PP it…) so I have to shoot most of the interiors shots with a wide, but as I want to minimze the IQ, I need to get a very good and crisp lens.
This leads to the budget… in such case as described, I can't afford the price of the upcoming Cannon 17 mm TS…
I made some calls today, the 18 Zeiss (Nikon mount, Canon's shouldn't be a lot different) is about 800 Euros, Nikon 17-24 is about 1500 Euros including the adpatator…
The Zeiss isn't yet on the market (should arrive soon) and the adaptator for the Nikon is 4 to 8 weeks delay…
Hmmmm… seems I'll have to wait!
Anyway, Bart, Asher, Michael, Karsten, Jack, Kathy and Daniel (hope I didn't forget anyone!) thanks again for your great posts, you all helped me to make my mind clearer…
This is a very interesting thread, please do continue to exchange your experience!
