Going to a long hike in mountains, which lens to choose?

Re: Handheld panorama stitching in the mountains

Many thanks elfroggio.

I need to try that next time I'm in the mountains or see a nice landscape. I simply haven't even thought about this option in the past.

Certainly I won't take a tripod with me when weight and size matters, don't even own a nodal point adapter, but as you explained, it can be done handheld. At least it's worth a try.

The more prominent and the closer the foreground, the more difficult I guess. So one should have a feeling (play around at home) where approximately the nodal point is with the lens of choice.

23 mm seems a good fl.

AFAIK a polarization filter is not recommended since the sky will become unevenly dark, depending on the angle to the sun.

Thanks again

Martin
