Re: Fish Eye Lens for 360 Panoramic Images

I own the samsung 10mm fisheye and like it a lot. I have tried two image panoramas but not 360.

Not sure how 360 panoramas would look considering all the distortion that fisheye lenses have. Normally, you want to overlap around 30% of the image, but since there's a lot of distortion around the corners, you'd probably want to overlap more, like 50%. That means that you'd need at least 4 shots to cover 360 degrees if you want to minimize distortion.
