Hi, I also thought Opteka and Samyang were the same or at least very similar, I have heard that before. As you asked for some samples, I have some here if you still want to see:
http://cartola.org/arquivos/Sample-6.5mm.tgz I have calibrated the lens not only using the tutorial at hugin site but also saving the lens after a good stitch, but always have to do similar optimization that finishes the necessary lens distortions to make the lines join correctly. That is why I think it doesn't matter very much if I define the lens initially as fish eye or stereographic. Good exchange of information till now. :) Tks, Carlos E G Carvalho (Cartola) http://cartola.org/360 2012/4/19 Carl von Einem <[email protected]> > Thanks for that hint!
