I performed a quite nice test with my Samyang 8mm f/2.8.  If I
assume stereographic projection, I get

focal length = 8.04
a = 0.02036
b = -0.08028
c = 0.01446
             ==> real focal length = 8.41


However, assuming full-frame fisheye, the same control points yield

focal length = 8.65
a = 0.02142
b = -0.0194
c = 0.02785
             ==> real focal length = 8.39

I think this supports my view that Hugin's focal length, multiplied
by (1-a-b-c), results in the real one.

Tschö,
Torsten.
