I read about 40 pages on the internet and still haven't found the awnser... I hope one of you can help me 
I'm looking for the settings for the combination Manfrotto 303Plus - Canon 5D 17-40 f4 L & 24-70 f2.8 L
Is there an online datebase with nodal point's?

It takes 60 seconds to find the nodal point of any lens and camera. I can do it anywhere.
You just need something to put 50 cm in front of your lens.
A tripo, a door , a chair, a car or a bicycle, a tree or what ever is available,

Morphicx Unfortunately, Manfrotto doesn't support their Panoramic Tripod Heads in quite the hands-on way Nodal Ninja, 360Precision and some others do, like participating in forums like this one.
That's probably why Nodal Ninja and 360Precision are the post popular rotators on the market
John Houghton has a number of tutorials on his website www.JohnHPanos.com and there's one on how to go about setting the No Parallax Point or Nodal Point, depending on what you call it www.johnhpanos.com/epcalib.htm
