Example Panoramas, Eastern Sierra (GFX100)
These examples demonstrate panoramas using the Fujifilm GF 120mm f/4 Macro R LM OIS WR. Unfortunately, the sample used (brand-new) had a left/right skew problem, repeatedly seen in numerous shots.
Images presented at sizes up to 100 megapixels.

The unacceptable quality control from Fujifilm means that the left side is blurred while the right side is razor sharp, a problem seen repeatedly in the field with this sample, too late to do anything about it.
