which nodal ninja i need ?

[klaas123]

hello,

I'm just starting with pano photography,
Want to buy a nodal ninja, but don't know wich one i need !

I want to use it on a nikon d200 with nikon 18-200 lens, want to make multi row images, whith nadir and zenith photo's too.

Doe anyone have an advice for me ?

Nodal Ninja 5 with possibly the R-D16 rotator base if you want to switch between lenses quickly. If not, the standard Nodal Ninja 5 will be fine.

If you can afford it I would advise definitively also the NN5 with R-D16 as it's very easy to setup and change settings when you change lens (easier than detent rings of regular model), but standard NN5 will go very well also

Nodal Ninja 5 would be the perfect choice, if you want to achieve the full tilt up position for the zenith shot, as Andrew and Vincent correctly stated.

However, Nodal Ninja 3 mkII can be an alternative: at 18mm, a proper up shot is not possible but you can still easily cover the zenith area for a full spherical VR.

Cheers,
Mauro
