Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera for panos?

[Peter A. Schaible]

Have you tried a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, such as the Pentax K-01, for making panos?

If so, what has been your experience?  What is your opinion?  Please advise.  Thanks.

I have a Sony NEX as do a few others.  Great camera.  Both Pentax and Nikon use Sony sensors.  Mirrors don't take pictures.  Lenses and sensors do (yes, gross simplification).

I do have a small Panasonic GF2 and an Olympus EPL1 with te supersmall
Samyang 7.
Nothing is comparable to micro 4/3 as for size and lens choice (if you want
to use a system).
Sony Nex 5n has the best sensor, nex7 even better, but they do have poor
lens choice, lenses are bigger. If I can succeed in modifying that small
sammy fish in a GOOD way, nex5n or c3 could be a good buy.

Please consider that a D3200 plus 10.5 nikkor could come out for less than
1k euros.

As for camera to keep in my pocket...
In the moment, I still think that Olympus EPL3-EPM1 are the best choice
(Panny g1x has no manual control over video). Lenses I have or I tested:

14-45 and 14-42 both from Panasonic and Olympus:
They looked good to me, nothing special, but far better than Canon 18-55
kit lens, I'd say a bit better than any other kit zoom from any other dslr
I tested so far. Specially the last "metal look" Olympus version. They are
really fast and silent in focusing, even in continuous focusing during
video rec.

7-14 panny, very good overpriced
7.5 Samyang, marvelous and underpriced HAVE IT
8 Panasonic, marvellous overpriced
8-18 olympus, very good
12 olympus, very good overpriced
14 panny, very good, right price. I HAVE IT
17 olympus, good, a bit pricey, but can't live without
20 panny, dam good, I WILL BUY 2n hand
25 pannyleica, marvellous, I do prefer the 20 and it is overpriced
45 macro panny overpriced, very good lens, focus problems
45 Oly, a must have, underpriced, marvellous. I WILL BUY
45-200 panasonic, Very good, right price

Keep in mind that there is IN CAMERA CORRECTION for CA and GEOMETRY, that
is not perfect but effective.
the 12mp sensor is good, again far from perfect and do not spot the same
tonal extension of the Sony 16mp APSC one. You should not overpass 400iso
for panoramas, and 100 iso if you shoot at night.
Maybe the OMD could be a good reflex substitute for panos (I'd use the
Nikon3200+10.5 instead!) and maybe I'd not use my pocket setup for hi-level
jobs, but still I do endorse the micro 4/3 as system. It is REALLY good,
enjoyable, usable and useful.
My small Nodal Ninja head looks superchunky in comparision!!!

The D3200 has the same sensor (I think) as the NEX 7 and is half the price.  

Wait a few months and you could probably pick up a D3200 body for $500.  
But some of the features are limited like no exposure bracketing.  And
it's heavier than the NEX 7 -- 18oz vs 12.5oz.  

But new cameras are coming out so often that in a month there could be even
better, cheaper camera both with and without mirrors.

The D3200 I was informed by NIKON's Marketing Director

who is my partner and sponsor in Brazil
that it's a camera that will NOT be sold only the body

You can check at Adorama.com or B&H and others
that they sell it only with a kit lens 18-55mm

:-(


They say it's an entry level camera for amateurs that were using compact
cameras and want to move up

We are specular, I've got my Nikon italian pusher who is the pro marketing
director.
The camera has a gooooood sensor. Do not give a damm if it is an entry
level, since you have raw and a pro-grade sensor!
It is very light and small, good for pole panoramas. Grey market is selling
it w/o lens already.

[Roger D. Williams]

I have purchased a Pentax K-01 specifically for making panos. I love it.

The 16Mp sensor is plenty big enough for VR panos. The lack of a viewfinder doesn't matter because who needs one for panoramas? Having the histogram on the back panel means I can easily see it when the camera is mounted on top of my monopod without having to bring my eye right up to the camera. The lack of mirror shock/bounce has to be good. And in the specific case of the K-01 the controls are well spaced and ideally placed for access. There's a little green button that can be configured to select the right shutter speed with the preset (manually set) aperture. In manual mode that exposure will be used for all subsequent exposures. You do have to remember to select a specific ISO setting; if you leave it on the default auto sensitivity setting the camera will select different ISO sensitivities when you point the camera in different directions even when everything else is set to manual. I only had to look at the manual on a very few occasions, but that might be due to the fact I am thoroughly familiar with the sensible and quite logical grouping of controls on Pentax cameras, a nice contrast, I might add, to the messy Nikon nested menus. My happy experience using the little K-x was what encouraged me to consider the K-01. How happy am I? I have sold my D300 and its lenses to stick with my Pentaxes.

I don't think I would like the K-01 nearly so much for the snaps I take when not making panos. But I have the K-x for those. I might just trade this in for a K-5 now that they are dropping in price after the advent of the very similar K-30. But for now I am one happy camper.

I'm a little sad to be told that the excellent in-camera anti-shake performance may be counter-productive when used with my monopod setup. But naturally I am going to test this thoroughly for myself before giving up on it.

I tried my K-01 with a Samyang but I got an unsharp dud that was swiftly returned. I now use my previously seriously underused Pentax 10-17mm zoom fisheye. Lovely little lens, and cheaper than the optically identical Tokina. At least here in Japan it is...

I use an Olympus E-P1 + Samyang 7.5mm FE for my pole panos (because of the weight) and for the panos were a small camera is required.

I do like the combination and it is highly effective for 360 panos

Example: <http://360vr.nl/Roei> shot with E-P1 and Samyang 7.5mm

Maybe you could buy the kit and sell the lens?  People do that all the time on ebay.  No D3200 bodies yet but they will show up.

When I want/need a compact setup I'm using a Sony NEX-5 with the 16mm pancake lens and the fisheye adapter (VCL-ECF1) attached. You need 6 shots around and top and bottom. This gives you an eqirectangular with 12000x6000 pixels with the original 14.2 MP version, a bit larger with the newer NEX-5N!

Three examles for this setup (all handheld):
I held the camara through a very small window in Bavaria's head:
http://www.panotwins.de/spherical-panoramas/oktoberfest-like-bavaria-sees-it/

Handheld with a Philopod:
http://www.panotwins.de/spherical-panoramas/bad-hindelang-seen-from-nusche/

Handheld over my head:
http://worldwidepanorama.org/worldwidepanorama/wwp2011/html/MarkusMatern-7174.html

Read a detailed review about this setup here:
http://kurtmunger.com/sony_nex_vcl_ecf1_fisheyeid323.html
http://sonyalphalab.com/product-review/sony-conversion-lenses-for-the-16mm-e-mount-lens-vcl-ecf1-vcl-ecu1-hands-on-review/

When I want to shoot with less shots I use the Sigma 8mm fisheye attached via the Alpha to E-mount adapter (LA-EA1).

One problem with the NEX for pole setups is the lack of a cable release. I solved this by building an Arduino remote trigger:
http://www.panotwins.de/technical/nex-remote-trigger-with-arduino/

A second problem is the limited bracketing option you have: only -+0.7 EV :-(

I love the very small and compact setup of the NEX-5 + 16mm + VCL-ECF1 especially for the "allways carry with me occasion".

Another option for the NEX could be a modified Samyang 7.5mm (or maybe the native version when available):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/gkemp/6380899783/
I hope this is not only a rumour!

Best,
PanoTwin Markus

Luca, did you do that to your camera?  Do you know a professional that would do that modification to my 3C?

I would be afraid to try it myself.

Hi Luca,

unfortunately this hack does not work for the NEX-5 :-(, only for the 5N!

However you can modify a 5, but it's even more complicated! You almost need to disassemble your complete camera:
