Yes Nate, another really great shot you have there. Great work!
This is a 5 vertical image pano with the 12-50mm in the middle of the day. Took me several hours to walk to this lake so with out camping there overnight it was a little hard to get there for morning light. Some day I will shoot this lake with morning light.. I find the corners in images I shoot with the 12-50mm very soft. Do others experience this? Would the 9-18 provide better corners?

That's a great shot, regardless of the soft corners.
If my memory serves, my 12-50 wasn't the best in the corners either on infinity shots. If the opportunity presents itself again with this lens, just remember to try to "overshoot" the pano so that your image edges are taken with the lens center.
Some of that could be attributed to perhaps software stitching / morphing/ whatever, also.

9-18 is better in the corners. I have a good copy of the 12-50 and corners are very usable 2 stops down. That said I shoot the 9-18 at f8 most of the time. Nice image.
Thinking about trying to find a cheap used 12-50 and 40-150. I haven't done landscape in a while. The primes have been killing it for portraits and street though.
Shame about the focus on this second one. I haven't been so careful with focus on m43 (with the added depth of field), and this is the first time it's really bit me.
We went driving on The Tail of the Dragon last weekend for the last of the fall colors. It didn't disappoint. If you get the chance, this is a great road on the west edge of the Smoky Mountains. 318 curves in 11 miles. Awesome in a fun car.
