Nodal Points for XCD Lenses

[Michael H. Cothran]

I want to "officially" tip my proverbial hat to Hasselblad on this issue. In their data sheets for each XCD lens, Hasselblad has seen fit to provide all pertinent information regarding each individual lens, INCLUDING a precise nodal distance, in millimeters, for those of us who may shoot a series of panoramic shots on occasion. Makes simple work out of stitching in post processing, with minimum pixel waste. I made a "mark" on each of my lenses so that while on location, and tripod mounted, I can quickly adjust each lens to its precise nodal point as needed.
Couple that with the fact that they also still provide a sensor plane indicator on the body. Thanks, Hasselblad.

Thanks for pointing that out. I am stunned that I have a MF camera that fits on my Nodal Ninja 3. I originally bought it for my Leica M9. I was out by 4mm when I set it up myself before reading your post. Thanks again.
