Craig, I am SO embarassed to have to tell you there ARE no stops. Just a 4 to 8ft coupler. That's it! The stops I remembered were from my years as organist on the reed organ, now retired. Guess you're no longer interest...

So there's that famous organ! Still waiting for some close-up shots of it.

Paul, thanks for the encouragement. It's fun, but also quite hard work--not only lugging the equipment around (the tripod is heavier than the camera) but also remembering all the strictly manual steps involved in taking one of these panoramas. Most frequent mistake? Using the 180-degree setting instead of the 360-degree setting and vice versa! I'm getting the hang of it, though...

Richard, isn't that Heliar lens really something? It is an excellent combination with XP2... Please post some examples! (I'll just go check!)

A nice technical accomplishment! Limited to just 800 pixels wide, this venue doesn't really do it justice.
I shot my first roll of XP2 with the CV Heliar 101 and I really like the scans. I though I was through with film but I suppose not just yet!

Keith, I find it interesting that people continue to look natural wherever they appear in a rotary shot, while the curved "straight" lines are unsettling. With rectilinear lenses, the lines remain straight but spatial distortion elongates heads and forces you to keep people away from the edges... You really, REALLY need to see these rotary photos in VR mode. Wish there was more support for my forum suggestion along those lines.

Thanks, Chris. That's me seated next to the camera. Some strange trick of the light makes me look almost completely bald.

Wow!!! My eyes have just fallen off the side of my head! I hope the camera is quiet!! My minister would NOT be amused, he allows no photography during services (even Weddings )

Great! I've been waiting for one of these!!
Compositionally, I'm not sure you could have possibly done any better than to get the cross in the centre of the shot!! Exposure-wise, it's perfect!!
As for d.o.f., everything seems to be in perfect focus!!
So forgive me if I say an 'all-round good shot', Roger!! I look forward to the next in the series.
Best regards, Chris
P.S. Am I right in thinking we've got a glimpse of the photographer, too?

Roger,
it has a strange effect indoors, so much more pronounced than the exterior shots. A very interesting image none the less.
Its really difficult to critique these 360deg images too, because I have no experience of what to look for. The leading lines and composition rules are all 'out the window' here ;-)
