I need help calibrating my Sigma 8mm / 3.5f lens in Hugin and I am willing to pay. +Dustin Gelegonya

[Dustin Gelegonya]

I am using a Nikon 5100 with a 1.5x focal length multiplier. The lens is 8mm and I have 4 clicks on my Nodal Ninja head and take 3 shots at each click for a total of 12 shots per scene. I am looking for someone who could help me calibrate the lens and walk me though the entire stitching process from start to finish. I am willing to pay.

Hello Dustin,

You might be able to do it yourself.
Have a look at the lensfun site, <http://lensfun.berlios.de/calibration/>
which provides a tutorial.
Having a calibration in the lensfun database is probably the best
approach, although you will need to initially manually add your
calibration to the lensfun database.
There are tutorials on using hugin,
<http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/calibration/en.shtml> to do the
calibration. Hugin allows you to save and load a local calibration file.
There are a number of other tutorials on using hugin to calibrate a lens.
Have a search, you might find one of those explains it well enough for you.
The other tutorials on the hugin site should help you with the stitching
process.

Cheers,
