Polarization filter for stitching

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.

That normally shouldn't be a problem with the 23mm and a circular polarisers. In my experience, it's much wider FOVs where the polarisation loses its evenness, making transitions more obvious in a stitch.

Thank you FTOG.

Not so sure whether this depends on the fl if you do panorama stitching. Isn't it more the angle of the sky you cover overall?

But I'll give it a try. One stich with, one without. Just need find a chance to go for a hike and currently don't know when this will be the case

This gives me the time to figure out the nodal point. I'll probably use my Viltrox 23 mm f/1.4. Could also try my XF 33 mm f/1.4.

Edit. Ah I see I am honored to be a senior member from now on. It's my 1000th post
