Hi,
Just wondering if it's difficult to actually find the centre of rotation point for lenses using this setup ?

Cheers
:)

hi fudsylow

I have only tried it with the canon 5d mark 2 with the 16mm lens once you play about with it for a while it all seems pretty simple. Plus there are lots of info online to help you find the right rotation point.

When it works its quite amazing what you can do with the virtual tours. I used to use it with Auto PanGiga and Pano Tour both very easy programs to use to create your tours.

Check out the two links for more reading.
