THe Nodal Point of a lens (changes with the focal length in a zoom lens):
I just read an article in German FotoMagazine about Panoramas made from
several single shots, stitched together. It turns out I must rotate the
lens - not arround the tripod screw, but arround the Nodal Point of the
specific lens I use (where the light beams are crossing inside the lens).
This way I can avoid that fore- and background objects changes their
relative positions. I must use a bracket to have the camera movee backwards,
so the Nodal Point will be located above the axis of the tripod. (I can use
a bracket from a Metz hammer head flash).

I've tried it and it works. Thought you'd like to know (if that's news to
you - it was to me).
