Josselin Castle
What you call tilt is a natural visual effect produced by the angle of view over the lake reflection --The Photographer (talk) 17:51, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Spurzem, the towers taper slightly and some of the windows are wonky. They are 15th century fortifications. The reflection is vertically aligned with the castle, so I think I'm true to what is there. -- Colin (talk) 19:19, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Code: Sorry to steal Colin's spot. Not sure I fully get ur question, but my guess is that you look at Colin's setup to produce a 80mm equivalent which shouldn't work on the NN3MkII. But the lense itself remains a 50mm, so not an issue. I think it's all clearer when you think of it as taken with a FF 50mm and only cropped to 80mm in post - Benh (talk) 10:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My 50mm lens is equivalent to 75mm on FF camera. According to FoV tables (looking at the DX columns, which match my crop Sony sensor), the 50mm lens has a vertical FoV of 17.7° (which is the horizontal FoV in portrait mode). The NN3MkII has several brass rings for various degree-step detents and the finest is 15°, giving a 2.7° overlap (about 18% overlap, which when I measured a picture is correct). I took File:City from One Bishops Square.jpg at 15° horizontal intervals. It is just enough. However, usually I prefer more overlap. It lets me fix up the panorama afterwards if there is more redundancy. For this image, I simply paused the horizontal rotator midway between the 15° detents. I did the same for File:Tower Bridge from London City Hall 2015.jpg. I've even used a telephoto zoom lens at 100mm for this photo, stopping roughly every 5°. I think Fanotec only recommend up to 50mm lens (on full frame camera) because the next standard prime is 85mm, which would have a 16.1° FoV that is just too tight at 15° intervals. One can actually reverse the brass disc to its blank side with no detents at all, and go by the 5° markings or judge by eye. -- Colin (talk) 11:43, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Colin, that makes sense to me (sounds like a difficult job, though). --Code (talk) 14:04, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Code: Ah got it now. Never an issue for me either ; I don't use these click discs :) and rely on live view + overlap grid instead. - Benh (talk) 20:15, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
