lomo horizon?
1. Unlike traditional lens where a circular image hit the film plane, swing lens is masked by a vertical rectangular slit so that at any given time only a portion of the film is exposed
2. It does this as the lens swing/rotates so that the film is expose from end to end (the film plane is curved as well).
3. In theory this would mean a 1/15s exposure would take longer than that, probably as long as 1 sec (the film is still exposed at 1/15sec for every part that the light hits) and you might think this would cause camera shake.
4. However, in practice camera shake blur is minimized because the lens is normally superwide (any movement will be almost negligible)
5. The problem is that handholding at that speed you will get wavy lines instead of continous long lines if you are not steady.
Panoramic stitching will give a fisheye effect as well, you are basically rotating the camera along an axis(yourself), much like what a swing lens camera would do. You have to digitally correct the distortion later to give a panoramix xpan look.
Or, instead of swinging/rotating the camera, you could sidestep to take the pictures![]()
Thanks chiif! 25000 euros allow me to get one of the last 100 noctiluxes, a black M8, a chrome M8 and some summiluxes and probably with leftover to go travelling![]()
No lah.. where got so expensive? It's only USD3'875.35.
Only the Seitz 6x17 Digital with Seitz D3 digital scan back is 25,000 euros. :bsmilie:
