What player to use?

Wow what a discussion this has become.

Of course the quality of FPP is not on dispute, i am still using it whenever I do a pano. Even without the use of flashificator (sorry Trausti wink) It does everything i can think off and then some.

My concern is, what will happen if we all are using flash 11 in the future, and for some reason FPP does not work properly anymore.
Denis seems to see FPP as a hobby-project and does not trust anybody to help him with the further development of FPP.

I'm guessing Flashificator isn't Trausti's only project but he finds the time to help everybody who asks. If Denis would visit his own forum 10% of the time Trausti does, he would only have satisfied customers.

Again I'm a great FPP fan but i guess i get a little nervous if the developer himself seems not interested anymore. This usually means the beginning of the end, and I guess the question is am i willing to wait till it crashes or do i step out before. (of course this is greatly dramatised smile)

Hey Hans, nice to see the pano guru of the northern hemisphere is still alive and kicking. wink

So is there any news about the development of FPP that you know off?

And are there any other players besides FPP en KRPano who are worth looking at?

Hi all,
Can I ask which panorama player you are using?
It's been a little while since I made pano's.
I used to use FPP (FlashPanoramas Player) but I have a feeling that it is no longer getting updated and players like KRPano have since past it in functionality.

Looks great but I need full 360 pano's (the above sky can be photoshop-ed into the pano but i need at least a shot directly down) and as far as I can see they have only one sample and it's not a full 360 pano.

Hi, is there anyone who is experienced in taking pano's from about 260 feet (80 meters) above ground?

I need to find someone who can take the shots with me or for me in the Netherlands.
Or someone who is willing to teach me thoroughly how to do this.

Is the FOV of the Sigma F3.5 the same on a Nikon and Canon?
And what is the FOV exactly on those camera's.

And the same question but for the Sigma 8mm F4.

Pentax 10-17mm fisheye vs Sigma 10-20mm

EmEss,
can you post a photo shot with the sigma 8/4 ?
I would like to see how much is cut off at the top and bottom. And would like to know how big a hole you get when you stitch without nadir and zenith shots.
(Since the pentax sensor is a wee bit bigger than canon and so, i think a 8mm on a pentax should give almost no hole.

Yeah, well that's typical.
Because after first asking and searching at every big photographyshop in the Netherlands (and around) I send out a mail to sigma in every english speakin country. Everytime they told me they were not sure if it was ever build, but it was now out of production anyway because of the new 4mm ??!.
And Sigma America was the one who wrote me that the 8mm was definitly never made for Pentax.
So that's why I bought the 10-17mm.

If you can show a Pentax K10d with a Sigma 8mm mounted on it then I believe again. wink

@Doug: The sigma 8mm was never build for the pentax.

So Klaus, don't waist your time trying to find one like I did.
I use the pentax 10-17mm on my pentax K10d and I only need 5 shots around (and a zenith and nadir).


@Hans: what do you mean by a fullframe fisheye?
Didn't you have a fullframe canon? Then I think your tokina would give you a circular image but this will not be the case for Klaus with his Petax K10D and crop 1.5

There are circular and diagonal fisheye lensen, and the pentax is a diagonal ( see explanation on page one in this thread www.panoguide.com/forums/qna/3915/ )which means the outercircle falls over the sensor of in this case the pentax.

The pentax 10-17mm works great for me. But I don't know the sigma 10-20 so I can't really advice.

Nice pictures Michael!

You have low and high resolution versions, but i don't really see a mayor differance. So is it only a pixel thing? or do you compress them differently?

@Ed 360, I think immervision uses their own extension. So although the viewer is free you still need the software to make your own panoramas suitible for the viewer.

@emarts, maybe www.flashpanoramas.com is something to look at. If you have basic knowledge of html then this might be a good alternative.

I use the same technic with my pentax 10-17 fisheye. I shoot 5 around at a -10 degree angle and 1 up at about a 60 degree angle.
But on advise of John H. I now also take a nadir shot, since this helps getting a better stitch in ptgui.
