Hi Jan,

Based on what wikipedia says about regular dodecahedra and pentagons and
after some scribling:
Seen from the centre of a regular dodecahedron the height of one of the
faces has an angle of 1.24 or 70.8 degrees.  The diagonal of a pentagon
face has an angle of 1.31 or 74.8 degrees.

If I assume, that you want to shoot one photo down, one up and five on
an upper and a lower circle each, then you'd have to shoot landscapes to
get the benefit of 70.8 degrees, for portraits it's the 74.8.

I hope I'm not missing any perspective related complication.

cheers, lukas
