Very nice Samuli! Would love to see it a bit larger. 60 shots (!) - are you doing this in on tripod?
Don't know about nice, really ugly boat in dead & brown ugly nature, but if you like hmmm, it's so old...but did still have one tiff-image in temp directory (amongs 5000+ other images...), made smaller JPG: 1080P - I will remove the bigger version at some point when I start to run out of my haed drive at vahonen.com. Seems that this version has some stitching errors as well.
100/2 as 26/0.5 FF-equivalent would require a 144x96mm (something like 5,7"x3,8") format. The 150mm f/2.8 Xenotar for 4x5" comes very close, at least the DoF is similar.
here is a 21 shot,180 degree pano, single row of verticaly oriented shots with the contax g 45/2 at f/4 or f/5.6.
these types always produce crazy color castes as the light is different in different parts of the shot. there is a fair bit motion blur in some of these and there was quite a bit of rain drops on the lens, but at this size neither shows up much. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7213/6896707802_cb0beaa2ff_o.jpg
That's a great result from the San Francisco/16mm panorama. The sky is remarkable. Did you do anything to be able to hold in the highlights? It's great color at the horizon; so many of mine end up blown out in similar situations.

yeah, i exposed the shot for the highlights and jacked up the shadows in post prior to stitching the shots. once i had the stitch i did some curves adjustment to bring the shadows back down for a (hopefully) more natural look. sooc the foreground stairs look nearly black.
Here's one I did recently in New Mexico. Unfortunately, I've had trouble getting a perfectly smooth tonal blend. Photoshop's photomerge can do the vignetting correction to properly render the sky, but it fails on the automatic stitch (at the edges, it can't line up the mountains right). If I use the manual placement in PS, you can't do vignette correction. Microsoft ICE stitches it perfectly on auto, but also doesn't do that sort of correction. I've tried manually correcting prior to export, but it's hard to get it exactly perfect...I may need to try some other programs or such to get it perfect, but I haven't had time recently. This is the GH2 with Oly 40-150...about 16 images:
@alskouba: nice composition of colours.
@Gunzorro fountain: nice colours and exposure.
@Gunzorro winter landscape: the water looks very good. Don't see any stitching mistakes in it.
@Jman13 1st shot: I like the layers and the tiny details at the foreground.
@Jman13 2nd shot: wow! Looks great. It has some "tilt miniature" look.
There are some fantastic images here; I'm loving these shallow DOF panoramas. Jordan, you make me want to try it now. Anyway, here's one of my favourite panos - from Red Rock Coulee here in Alberta.
You see those two blobs sitting below the sun? That is a farm, and those specks are a farmhouse and barn. This is kind of an invalid Panorama, by the way. It's a crop from a handheld 100mm shot on my K10. The lens was some borrowed ancient Russian dealy and I can't recall its specs. I don't even remember what aperture I used. Probably around F8? Haha.
