Mono Lake panoramas

Go to last post
Hi Zane,

I read with interest your settings with the MPRCLII at 17mm (with the AF-S 17-35). I use the identical equipment you do (the AF-S 17-35 is just about the only lens I've used for landscapes for almost three years).

I usually shoot panos with this lens at 35mm, and in this case, I set the MPRCLII at marking 8. If using a 50mm lens (the f1.8) I use a marking of 3 on the MPRCLII. I did some rudimentary tests with near/far vertical lines and these settings seem to give me pretty good results.

I'm curious - when you shoot closer to 35mm with the AF-S 17-35, what setting on the MPRCLII do you use?



Again, simply fantastic images of Mono Lake. Very inspiring!!

Thanks & Best Regards,
Tom (Marshall) Heim

It is a great lens. Now I'm experimenting with hyperfocal distances and trying to shoot as close to f/5.6 as I can for that optimal sharpness.

Well, so far I haven't shot much at that end of the zoom; usually I'm trying to squeeze it all in at the wide end. I haven't tried it yet but I'm curious how the sharper 28-70mm AFS will work for panos. A buddy of mine shoots most of his panos with the 70-200mm VR and claims that the lens foot on the base of his tripod is exactly calibrated without the extension bar.
