Working on a Lens Chart
Posted: 11 Jun 2010 at 18:05 GMT

There's lots of information we keep retelling to newbies so I got restarted work on my eBook; Intro to Virtual Photography
One thing I want to include is a Chart that lists the more popular lenses, mostly fisheyes, and pertinent info about those lenses
This is my list so far with some but I don't have all the info I want for each;
Canon 15mm
Coastal Optics 4.88mm
Nikkor 10.5mm
Nikon Coolpix FC-E8 & E9 Lens Converters
Samyang 8mm
Sigma 4.5mm
Sigma 8mm
Sunex 5.6mm
Tokina 10-17mm Zoom
Here's what I want to put in the Chart
1. Electronic/EXIF with a Yes or No
2. Auto Focus with Yes or No
3. Image Type Produced on both Cropped and Full Frame Sensors
4. Classic Shoot like the Sigma 8mm on a Cropped Sensor is 4H+Z+N
5. Alternate Shoot like the Sigma 8mm on a Cropped Sensor can be shot 4T @ 5°-7.5°
I'll include a credit on the last page to any contributers.
Thanx

Doug,
you know this:
www.vrwave.com/panoramic/photography/lens_databas...
That´s the list I immediately thought of when I looked at yours. There are some very good ideas in the vrwave list. Maybe you adopt them into your list, maybe you use the vrwave list instead.
By the way, there are at least 4 different versions of the Sigma 8mm around, two MF versions and the more common 8/4 and 8/3,5 AF lenses.

Thanx for the reminder, I'll see how much I can expand my list with with their info
Doesn't the number of shots, image shape, etc, apply to all the Sigma 8mm lenses?

I'm not sure why you make this list since you have no clue about lenses.
The vrwave list is the one (and should be updated, yes)
You forgot the Sigma 15mm (newer design than the Canon) and there is exif info from the Tokina 10-17 and yes it has AF.(who cares)
A tilt of 7.5 degr. is just a personal choice with that lens.
Doug, forget this list, it won't help new members

Thanx for the corrections about the Tokina 10-17mm
Added the Sigma 15mm
Should I include the Nikon 15mm?

Already found that out
Do you know how many shots with the Nikon 16mm?

Hey guys,
I know I didn't updated the lens database in quite a while, but I'm working on a new VRwave site, with more information and, hopefully, sample RAW/NEF 360° image sets for most lenses. It will soon be ready.
Doug,
You should definitely include the Nikkor 16mm (not 15mm) fisheye in your list. It's 16mm and not 15mm because of Nikon's 1.5x crop factor sensor vs. Canon's 1.6x. On a fullframe body it is the exact equivalent of the 10.5mm fisheye.

You're welcome.
Of course, the 16mm could also be used on a DX body, shooting 8 images every 45° at -30° pitch, 8 images every 45° at +30° pitch and a zenith image.
But it is generally a bad idea not to have a 0° pitch row of images.

That is not entirely accurate.

My list is generally Fisheyes with a single row capture, most with Zenith & Nadir.
In the eBook, I'll show a sample of a multi-row capture, but only really need one to show how complex it is. The target readers are "newbies" who tend to prefer the simpler capture the wide fisheyes offer.

That is not entirely accurate.
Hence the "generally". Of course, for the experienced panographer this shouldn't be a problem.
I agree with Terry, great work!
