I've avoided trying a CPL filter until now, but it seems to work well with this combo and angle. Trying something new with the filter, lens/body combo. The lens is new to me, and afterthought of a EF 35/2 purchase. But it turns out this lens is quite nice on the APS-H 1.3X format (equiv. to 36.4mm).
I'll bet you are wondering about the subject: why? Ha-ha! Well, it is a boring test for one thing. For another, the four shots produce an effective angle of view for a "look" of UWA, 14-16mm I'd estimate. The fact I kept perspective limited makes it look "regular" and gives the first impression of perhaps a 28mm full frame shot, when it actually takes in quite a bit more. Possibly this would be a handy and lightweight hiking around lens in the great outdoors, stitching panos together?

Quick stitch from Kodiak Island. Used a Nikon d800e with a voightlander 40. I think it was 12 images total.
Very very nice. How do you like the 40/2 on the D800e? I had one for a while on my D700 and it was fine, but I did not use it much. Now there are times I wish I still had it.
anyway i took a bunch of shots with a rokkor 58/1.2 on a NEX-7 as well and threw them into hugin to see how it could handle all those pesky bridge wires. it had quite a few problems as well though the result looks much better than the iphones efforts: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8348/8181390973_f3252f9254_o.jpg
the hugin/nex stitch also has the advantage of being tack sharp at the pixel level and 220mp of course.
I wasn't too impressed with the new pano app either, sebboh. I guess it would be all right for the less discerning to post on their facebook page, otherwise not that great.
Here is a recent one of mine, at my favourite spot once again.
You're making me miss San Fran with those great shots.

oh, wow. i can't image trying to stitch something that wide. do you do any distortion correction first?
No distortion correction, and I honestly didn't think it would work either... I just tried every option available in PTGui until it kind of worked out.
John,
Love that first Chilterns reflection pano.
Great comp, lighting, and mood!
Easily one of best landscape shots I have seen lately here in alt forum.
Hope you enter it in the best shot thread.
