I am a photographer and just starting in Quick Time panoramas. Any ideas on the best lens (in terms of focal length) that will help achieve wonderful panoramas of hotels (both exterior and inside their rooms, suites, etc..)? I will be using a Nikon DSLR.
You can use any focal length you want, but there are a couple of considerations. A long lens will need to have more frames to get your 360 degree, on the other hand a wide angle a wide angle needs fewer frames but each frame is distorted by the lens. So a focal length of around 50mm (35mm format) is probably the best compromise.
Have fun and good luck, it’s a spectacular technique.
