I don't shoot pano all the much, here is one from this morning, 3 shots with the CV 21 on the A7RIV. I shot the same scene with the CV 10mm a couple years ago, it was barely wide enough for the whole fountain.

From this morning before some cops gave us a hard time since we were on the other side of the fence... Please note that that male peregrine falcon is carrying his prey; the grayish brown kill visible under his tail, probably a morning dove.
Incredible shot, K-H! Just curious what was the distance between the camera and the hummer? I put a 1.4 TC on the 200-600, shooting maybe 8 feet away from the hummers, still, they barely fill 1/4 of the frame. Or you got jumbo size hummers where you are?

WOW!
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.
Well, distance probably closer to a foot than closer to two feet.
I am wearing a regular size felt hat, being quiet - including no camera noise -
camera at the ready in front of my face, no rush movements on my part,
and patience, patience, patience.
When a Hummer is in field of view, focus on it, and fully press A9 electronic shutter.
Keep firing the quiet electronic shutter while slowly leaning forward for the bird to almost fill the frame.
Not standing, but sitting down seems to help a hummer to move in closer to the feeder.
Because of the fast 1/160 s sensor readout time, I don't get any rolling electronic shutter distortions.
All my other cameras need their noisy mechanical shutter to avoid those artifacts when a hummer quickly turns.
The hummers seem to take their time at and near the feeder, not too impressed by my presence.
Here are two images I took yesterday at Bear's Den Falls in New Salem, Massachusetts. The first is with the 16-35 GM and the second with the Tamron 70-180:
