wwp@yahoogroups.com: nodal point question Larry Coltharp 2005-Mar-29 13:10:00
It would seem to me that the nodal point of any camera would the the 
midpoint precisely under the sensor or the film plane.  As the camera 
rotates, it's the sensor or film plane that is making a 360 spin 
directly on it's own axis.  It would appear that if that's the point 
of final capture or focus then that would be the nodal point.

I'm reading about various nodal points for different lens.  Would 
someone please explain how this works, please.  I'm not doubting it 
but just need an accurate explanation.

Larry
