Re: nodal point position

are you talking only fisheyes, or generally? On my 17-35 zoom, the nodal point is well away from the film plane. Also have a look at the picture of the Spheron PanoCam 12F with a fisheye lens on it - the camera is set well back so the lens can be over the point of rotation. See http://www.spheron.com . Two very different cameras but they follow the same rule.


See recent (< 5 min ago) post by me -- I misspoke, nodal point is *NOT* the film-plane. But the point in my original post stands: neither is it the FRONT of the lens-glass. I'm nearly certain you can't have a nodal point outside the area limited at one end by the front of the lens and at the other end by the film-plane.

Thanks,
Ted
