>By how much do I have to shift the lens for each shot, is something like a 20% >overlapping good? 20% will do. Less will work also. Depends on how exact you are with each frame. You just need to have an overlap. Try several dry runs mentally marking where each frame falls. Repeat the process for real when you're satisfied with the positioning of each frame. Its not that hard to pull off. Spend time getting your camera level with the world.
>Is there a better suited focal range than 50mm for that? Nothing says a 50mm is the ultimate. The answer to this is defendant on what you're trying to film and how far away it is. I've done panos with an effective 450mm (300mm on the *istD) when the subject was far away. I've done panos with a 35-80mm. Hope this helps.

Pilatus Hi Cotty thanks for your comment, you seem to be the only one not suffering from vertigo by watching the pictures until today :-) Soon I will post some shots from even more impressive Mt. Titlis here... A quick question for the panorama pro's here: I would like to try my very first panorama shot using the A50mm on a tripod with grade scale. By how much do I have to shift the lens for each shot, is something like a 20% overlapping good? Is there a better suited focal range than 50mm for that? greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Cotty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2005 5:11 PM >>To: pentax list >>Subject: Re: PESO:first impressions from Mt.
