Fisheye vs. Rectilinear
Tom Lassiter 2005-Jun-24 13:52:00
I've been using a 10.5 mm Nikkor, stitching with PTMac, and getting
good sharpness and easy stitches with PTMac.
I'm trying to land a client who has an extremely critical eye for
detail and resolution. He also has a low tolerance for distortion, so
the spherical QTVR images will have a more limited wide "zoom" so
than I might normally deliver.
The question: Can I expect more detail/higher resolution in the
finished image by switching to a 14 mm rectilinear lens? Reviews of
the Sigma 14 mm seem fairly positive, except for flare. I'll be
shooting interiors, so that may be less of an issue. Or for a
super-critical client, is the 14 mm Nikkor wide-angle necessary?
Thanks for any guidance.
Tom
