If you want to take a 360 photo with your DSLR or mirrorless camera, but are not sure which lens to get, then this chart will help you. This chart shows some popular lenses and what kind of coverage they will provide on a full frame, APS-C or Micro Four Thirds sensor, and thus let you know how many photos you will need to take.
Step 1: Decide how many photos you want to take per 360 photo.
Option 1: 4 shots, with lower resolution: look for a circular fisheye. For the panoramic head, you can use a multi-row panoramic head (e.g. Nodal Ninja 3), or a single-row panoramic head (e.g. Nodal Ninja R1)
Option 2: 4 shots, with higher resolution: look for a cropped fisheye. For the panoramic head, you can use a multi-row panoramic head (e.g. Nodal Ninja 3), or a single-row panoramic head (e.g. Nodal Ninja R1)
Option 3: 8 shots, with even higher resolution: use a diagonal fisheye. For the panoramic head, you can use a multi-row panoramic head (e.g. Nodal Ninja 3).
It is possible to use a single-row panoramic head (e.g. Nodal Ninja R1) if you tilt the camera but there will be a star-shaped hole in the nadir.
Step 2:
Choose a lens, looking at the column for your sensor size and narrowing the choices based on how many photos you want and what kind of coverage you need (from Step 1)
