PANORAMAS - continued

These two exposures together cover a horizontal angle of 78° without turning the camera, 4° more than the range of a 24mm wideangle lens, and with the added advantage of larger image size. The table below gives a comparison of the angles of various wideangle lenses and the PC-Nikkor panorama range. In making a vertical panorama, a 65° vertical angle can be covered using the extreme rise and fall shifts, with the camera still in the horizontal position. The overlapping area is least when two pictures are matched vertically.

Caution: Extreme care is necessary when taking panoramic shots to avoid camera movement, since even a slight movement between exposures will result in some distortion and photo- graphs will not join ex actly. For best results mount the camera on a tripod .

When making enlargements, be sure that the negative is absolutely parallel to the easel to prevent distortions. All of the focusing adjustments on the enlarger should be maintained constant from one exposure to the next. When the prints are removed from the washer, insert them in a rotary dryer facing the same direction.
