A wonderful panorama. I prefer this one, the right third looks somehow better composed.

John (Bohner), you've about summed up my own feelings. I'm always amazed how well the TX-1 works as a panorama camera despite its rather narrow angles of view... I think it may be because the perspective is so natural, i.e., so like what we perceive with the naked eye. The Widelux has a very much wider coverage (almost double!) and it shouts "I am a PANORAMA" a little louder. But it doesn't always create the best photo. Personally, I like the steps and the better coverage of the stream and rocks in this, the Widelux shot. The "artificial" flower bed doesn't bother me--there's never any other kind in a Japanese park! But it's a close call. Which is why I am so interested in everyone's opinions.

John (Barclay), the Widelux is my substitute for the 30mm lens. Its horizontal coverage is considerably wider (about 130 degrees for the Widelux as opposed to the 30mm's less than 100 degrees) and it is slightly deeper too (26mm vs 30mm). Spatial distortion is also an issue with the Fujinon, spreading out the image in the corners to keep the rectilinear look--you have to keep people out of the corners or they develop strangely elongated heads! The trade off for THAT is of course the curvilinear look you get with a swing-lens camera. It's all swings and roundabouts, John, and I've got pretty used to minimizing the effect of those distracting curves wherever possible. Sometimes there's nothing you can do, of course. [sigh]

I cant make up my mind Roger. IMHO both suffer from the artificial flower bed on the right. For that reason, the other might be better. Trouble is, this one puts the stream in better context for me. I got it...go shot some more!

It would be interesting to see what the 30mm lens on the TX-1 (xpan) would look like in comparison. Then you would see a more dramatic look.

Williams San,
Wow, I can't help starting to practice a panorama !
This one has quite different from the image taken by 28-mm lens.
Regards,
Koichi

They are both really good Roger, but if I had to choose, I would say this one with the stairs is my favorite. And to me, for some reason, it feels more panoramic than the other.

Yes, I do have a preference, Roger! I must say that I slightly prefer the other ones, mainly for the reasons I mentioned ~ i.e. the lines and use of golden points (whether intentional or not!!) Very little difference in overall picture quality though ~ you certainly know what you're doing with a camera ~ just a shame a few more people haven't noticed!
Kind regards, Chris
Have a good week. It's a Bank Holiday here, so we're off to Exmoor ~ just a shame it's a real 'grey day'!!

A much wider view. For this specific scene the other one is better. But, if you have an object that justifies this large wide angle, I would prefer this camera. It depends on the scene. Regards, Rob. Great work, Roger, I admire your work.
