I've got a Nikon D810 camera and am using PTGui for creating panographic shots. My goal is to move into Real estate photography and create those dollhouse dioramas using MarziPano (or something).
I bought a panographic head and a used heavy duty professional tripod. I started with a fixed focal length 8mm fisheye lens, but even with 6 shots around the circle and one up and down, the images are very grainy. I figured out how to get my 18-35mm lens working in portrait mode on the setup, but it's heavy and just isn't wide angle enough. Much better detail in the images though. Now I'm looking at some fixed focal length 12 and 14mm lenses, but not sure dropping $300+ is going to do what I want. I definitely don't want another fisheye, but I need one wide enough to overlap well in portrait mode with 6 shots. I can do 8, but that seems like a lot more work. 4 would be great, but I'll settle for 6. I want my panograph to be able to look at the ceiling and the floor without having any black holes there. Has anyone got any experience with interior panographs? I found a flash was very necessary already. These 12 & 14mm lenses have over 100 degree wide angle, but they don't tell me the vertical angle, which would need to be over 60 degrees. I'm guessing either the 12 or 14 would work, but it's a $300+ guess at this point. Any suggestions?
