As you all know I have had some frustrations conserning speed. The time between frames. I sometimes find the *ist D (and DL) too slow for shooting panoramas with people in them. The people may move too much between the shots.
I have found a usable solution. Like most great ideas this one is very, very simple: The solution is to use film! Yes, film! And a scanner. My MZ-S or P50 (with MEII winder) can do 36 frames as fast as I can EVER move the camea from one position to annother. 2.5 FPS without stalling. On top of that I get one more advantage. I need fewer shots, becase the image angle is wider for the same focal length. With my 20mm I usually need at least 16-17 shots. On a 35mm SLR I'll just need 10-12 shots. I wonder why it took me so long to figure this out. And it's quite unexpensive too. The only draw back is the cost of film and development and the time I use to eventually scan the film. Annother usable digital solution would be to use one shot technologies. These products/companies provide usable solutions at different prices: 0-360 360 ONE VR Kaidan Be Here Technologies Remote Reality EGG Solution But of course this is more expensive and requires that I spend perhaps 1000 USD or more.
