Hi Markus >Can I also use a wider lens like a 35mm or even a 28mm to have to take less single shots or not?
I guess it really depends on the lens itself. If you can get non-distorted single images from it than you should be able to get a non distorted pano also. I would think, you should be able to shoot it with a lens as wide as around 24mm and avoid distortion. >From my experience (with PanoramaMaker), the number of shots stiched only >affects the computer time to stitch. My lens reccommendation is to pick the lens to use as if you were shooting each frame by itself, if you're happy with that resuylt then use that lens for the pano. Be careful with the use of a polarizer. You'll get varying polarizer effects depending on the total angle of coverage of the pano.

I would like to make a panorama shot on top of the next mountain I will visit from the round view. So the distance will be infinite (500 meters - x kilometers). I thought about the 50mm to avoid getting any distortions or is that not such a big problem? Can I also use a wider lens like a 35mm or even a 28mm to have to take less single shots or not? greetings Markus >> >>>Is there a better suited focal range than 50mm for that? >>Nothing says a 50mm is the ultimate.
