Just wondering if anybody ever did a nodal slide for panorama photography. I am tempted to try some stitching but don't want to start all the way in by buying an expensive nodal slide,
$10 will get you a very good nodal slide. That's all you need for a one-row panorama. An L bracket for $10 or $15 might be helpful for verticals in certain situations. And $5 or so for a small level will be helpful. Use it on the center column of the tripod.
thought to look up for DIY projects for a simple slide just to align the camera-lens on the nodal point as to avoid parallax, I have a friend who is very patient and who owns a lathe (I think this is the name of the machine in English), anybody ever made an attempt at such a thing?
Ah, gee. It seems everyone has already given perfectly good answers already. The only thing I have to add is the small carpenter's level.
