Three more 8 shot panos taken in Upper Buttermilk Gorge today. A6000+Rhinocam+Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 Planar.
Carl:
The water may or may not look a little funny in these pictures. I can't tell in my MBP screen. I can't download the original files as I'm connected this week via my iPhone.
But, all these pictures are really beautiful, truly top notch. For these kind of pictures, I don't see why would someone need to spend 35K. Detail is amazing!
Congrats, I'm sold.

Thanks Eduardo. I was dealing with constantly shifting lighting and varying shutter speeds that affected water blur.Three more 8 shot panos taken in Upper Buttermilk Gorge today. A6000+Rhinocam+Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 Planar.

Would you say the CF glass is up to the task? I mean the high density of the A6000 sensor. Or the A6000 is overkill for CF glass?
Eduardo
No problems with resolution using the A6000 and MF Hasselblad Zeiss lenses. Even higher resolution using the A7r, but that requires removal of the ground glass preview part of the rhinocam. Only real problem is color shifts at the edges of the first and last frames shot in portrait orientation when doing 4x2 shots. I can correct it OK in LR, but just another step added to the workflow.

I'm lost Carl. What do you mean by removing the groundglass? And why? Also, I think the A6k sensor is more dense than the one in the A7r, thus requiring sharper glass.
Eduardo
There is a ground glass screen on the rhinocam that is used for previewing and composing the pano, but the A7r hits this unit when trying to mount the camera on the rhinocam so it has to be unscrewed and removed first.I'm lost Carl.

You can use the A7r with the preset shift stops, but there will be more overlap. I haven't contacted them about a unit for the A7, but I think others have and the response was that the NEX unit works well enough with the A7, except for the mounting problem. I don't know if they plan on making another one for the A7, but I doubt that they will.Now that you mentioned it. How does the A7 work with the Rhino made for the Nex? Since the A7 sensor is bigger I believe that fewer (but longer) shifts should be needed to cover the entire "super" 645 reach of the Rhino. Have you written Vizelex if they plan a dedicated Rhino for the A7? Or it's not needed?
Thanks
Eduardo
Here is a comparison shot using the Hasselblad 80 mounted directly to both the A6000 and A7r. Shots at both f/4 and f/16, ISO 100, self timer, tripod mounted. All of the images I've posted above have been at f/16 using the A6000. Might be some diffraction loss, but trade-off for DOF.I'm lost Carl. What do you mean by removing the groundglass? And why?

Overall shot, focus was on the bird feeder to the right.
