Hi, i have a 5d MarkIII camera and i want a fisheye lens to use the 4 photos technique to build a sphericall image
I think on a Sigma 15 mm http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-Diagonal-Fi … sigma+15mm
Right now i have rokinon 8mm shaved by my self but i dont like the blury image i obtained. Im attaching a photo with rokinon´s lens
What lens do you suggest?
PS, with a 15mm lens could i taking sphericall image using the 4 photos technique?
Thanks

It is strange but I have Rokinon 8mm (here it is called Samyang) on a crop nikon and the quality is much better - it can't be this bad on a FF canon. Besides - I saw some shaved lenses on a FF camera - they have a near-rectangular image not the circle one as on the example.
Are you sure you use a tripod and a remote control to avoid camera-shake? The aperture should be 5.6 or higher and as this lens is manual the focus should be from 0.7m or longer.

When i put focus on INFINITY i saw some blur, what setting do you use on the camera?
I opened the lens and remove the hood so thats why there´s no rectangular image

Hi Bungolio,
I am using 5DMark2 with Canon EF 8-15 mm lens...When I want to shoot 4 images (with enough overlapping between the images to have a good stitching result) I have to use my lens at 12 mm....At 15 mm I have to shoot 6 images around+1 Zenith (shot towards the ceiling;sky etc.)...
Feel free to as if you have further questions...

Hi burak, thanks for your feedback
My rokinon 8mm (or samyang) its designed to use with aps-c camera, when i get my 5d MarkIII i have to shave the lens to get a full circular image, but i dont know why my lens get some blur when i focus on infinity. I dont know if is the lens or a bad camera setting by me. I made this tour using the rokinonhttp://www.animamedios.com/estadio Its a baseball stadium.
So as you tell, with the sigma 15mm i will not made full sphericall with only 4 images? I like this technique because its quickly and i dont need a tripod or special head, and if this its true, what lens support 4 images technique do you suggest

I always set 5.6 and 0.7 m focus - it is enought to get good sharpness from 0.7 to infinity. Although I do 8 pictures on a crop body.

Making spherical panos without a tripod and panohead is a challenge - I doubt it can be done right with only a camera and a wide-angle lens even if it is only 4 images

No. You need at least 5 + 1 shots @20% overlap.

I definitely suggest to use a tripod and a panorama-head - especially indoors - but i don´t know for what you´re shooting panos, of course.
If you´re quite experienced you might use a monopole.
If your goal is good quality: use a 15mm fullframe fisheye doing 5+Zenith or 6+Zenith. If resolution resp. zoom-level isn´t of any interest: use an 8mm.
In terms of shooting there is no dramatically saving of time when you use an 8mm versus a 15mm - but there is a dramatically visible difference in the results.
You see: in the end it simply depends on what you want to achieve - as it is in most cases . .
