Entrance Pupil Database
Wouldn't it be great if everyone entered their values for their NPP / Nodal Point / Entrance Pupil for lens and camera combinations. Some searching on the web will find a lot of people saying they want to start to create a database of some kind, but have not seen anything substantial so far (correct me if I am wrong).
Please enter your own values if they are not listed.
Thanks, --Richard Korff 11:12, 13 May 2005 (EDT)
To cater for all the different camera bodies and lenses, the tables have been split into 3 parts:
- The first table shows the position of the tripod mount in relation to the lens axis. This is easy to measure and is dependent only on the camera body.
- The second table shows the actual entrance pupil distance which is only dependent on the lens itself. Note that the NPP for fisheye lenses is not constant over the image circle's FoV, so you will sometimes find different NPP values depending on the angle where your images overlap.
- The third table shows the number if pics neccessay for a full 360° coverage and the rotation angle between shots.
Use as much as possible actual measurements rather than the reading on your panorama head, unless your are sure these are the same.

Entrance Pupil Measurements
To calculate the Entrance pupil distance add the Tripod Mount Length (L1) from the camera and the Entrance Pupil Length (L2) from the lens. So for example for a Canon 300d and a 10-22mm at 10mm, the total Entrance pupil distance from the tripod mount is 40mm + 66mm = 106mm
If you use a SLR lens on a mirrorless camera, you also just have to add the adapter thickness (Flange to focal plane difference). For Nikon F mount lenses on a Z camera: 30.5mm; similarly for Canon EF lens on a EOS-R camera: 24.0mm. The principle is the same for mounting any other type lens on a camera when an adapter can be used.
Bill Claff's optical bench as a data source
Bill Claff's optical bench is another great resource for entrance pupil positions. The data is based on manufacturers' own patent applications.
Select your lens from the drop-down menu, and the bench is populated with various parameters and lens diagram showing nodal points and exit & entrance pupils. To panorama photographers of interest are the values listed as P (entrance pupil's distance from frontmost lens surface) and F' (front lens' distance from image plane). Subtract P from F', and the result is the entrance pupil's distance from image plane.
It is worth noting that some patents do not correspond to contemporary lenses, one notable example being the Sigma patent listed as 14mm f/1.85 IF whose calculated entrance pupil distance differs significantly from the production lens.
First party lenses
For lenses of the same manufacturer as the camera, just take the first table, simple.
Several manufacturers (Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc) offer the same lens for a variety of camera mounts. Since different camera manufacturers have different lens mount dimensions, these "third party" lenses are split in a separate table (below).
- For these Focal Length values the actual focus is set to infinity () unless otherwise specified (micro/macro lenses)
| Lens | Focal Length | Entrance Pupil Length (L2) |
|---|---|---|
(Lenses from same manufacturer as camera) Enter the exact lens name, or if you are using a camera with a fixed lens the name of your camera as mentioned at DPreview. |
 Facing the side of the lens, the distance from the base of the lens to the Entrance Pupil. A negative value means the entrance pupil is outside the lens, in the camera body. Such is the case with many telephoto lenses. The lens base is the point on the lens that contacts the "lens base" on the camera used to determine the "Tripod mount length (L1)" in the table above. | |

Third party lenses
Several manufacturers (Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc) offer the same lens for a variety of camera mounts. This is convenient for example, if the value listed for your lens is for the Canon version and you have a Nikon, you just have to add 2.5mm (46.5mm - 44mm).
Unfortunately, many lenses in this table didn't specify the camera type. Please edit this table if you know the version of the lens actually measured. Luckily the difference between Nikon and Canon is just 2.5mm, so even if the version of the lens isn't known, the value listed should at least be reasonably close.
