Nikon PC NIKKOR 35mm f-2.8 - Manual (Page 31)

PANORAMAS —continued
These two exposures together cover a horizontal
angle of 78° without turning the camera, 4° more
than the range of a 24mm wideangle lens, and with
the added advantage of larger image size. The table
below gives a comparison of the angles of various
wideangle lenses and the PC-Nikkor panorama range.
In making a vertical panorama, a 65° vertical angle
can be covered using the extreme rise and fall shifts,
with the camera still in the horizontal position. The
overlapping area is least when two pictures are
matched vertically.
Caution; Extreme care is necessary when taking panoramic
shots to avoid camera movement, since even a slight movement
between exposures will result in some distortion and photo­
graphs will not join exactly. For best results mount the camera
on a tripod.
