PANORAMAS
The shift movement of the PC-Nikkor
can also be used for making panoramic
pictures by joining exposures. Its advan
tage over the normal lens mounted on
panoramic equipment is that it enables
you to maintain exactly the same film
plane in both exposures so that the fin
ished photographs will match exactly.
With the ordinary lens, the camera must
be moved after the first exposure in order
to take in a new arc of the horizon. This
movement changes the film plane, so that
vertical and horizontal lines in the subject
make new and different angles with the
film. As a result, no two photographs will
ever match perfectly when joined.
