Great panos here!
Bob: this is perfect and its very mood-inducing for me
thrice: I like them all, but the first and the last one are outstanding!
Here's my contribution, taken with Zeiss 35-70:

this thread is just awesome! Dan, love those shots. I tried the Nokton and I had such a bad experience with it I returned it and never thought twice of it again. Maybe I should have tried another copy

WOW !!!
And I thought I liked the Alt, 3D, & APO threads. It's like the amount of effort that goes into the pano's raises the bar to a new level.
Just when I thought I was starting to get some decent stuff going (so I can hopefully SMOKE the GWAC's around me), you guys are TOTALLY blowing me away.

Really nice stuff here.
Here are some pictures (all panos) that I took within span of 24 hours -- a very productive day indeed! All with sub-100$ MF lenses and a 10 dollar tripod! Stitched in ptgui.

It was the excellent SMC takumar 50mm 1.4.
The conditions were indeed remarkable, but I also made a considerable effort to be at the right place at the right time: 11km from the road at sunset and sunrise!

Thanks. We walked it in April (early Autumn) and the snow arrived overnight whilst we were at the Luxmore Hut (if you know it). It was a great bonus. It got a bit slippy in places but well worth the effort

Nice photos everybody!
Denoir, would you share some overall impressions of Gigapan Epic Pro (beside nice pics)? How sturdy it is as a tripod head for longer exposures/focal lengths? It does look very tempting.
And this to everyone: it seems that a great rendering lens is hard to bypass no matter the achieved resolution. What do you think?

Some very inspiring stuff being posted! Thanks to all for their great shots.
I got busy today with our good weather (rain yesterday!), and headed out early to downtown L.A.'s Bunker Hill area.

This angle would be a good candidate for HDR processing, but I'm afraid it might get even further unrealistic looking.
