PANORAMAS The shift movement
of
the PC-Nikkor
can
also
be
used for making panoramic
pictures
by
joining exposures. Its advan-
tage
over the normal lens mounted on
panoramic equipment
is
that it enables
you
to maintain exactly the same film
plane
in
both exposures
so
that the fin-
ished photographs
will
match exactl
y.
With
the ordinary
lens,
the camera must
be
moved after the first exposure
in
order
to take
in
a new arc
of
the horizon. This
movement changes the film plane,
so
that
vertical and horizontal li
nes
in
the subject
make
new
and different angles with the
film.
As
a result, no two photographs
will
ever match perfectly when joined.
