Looks mighty good to me.

One pano caveat I noted in the X-T1 manual for automatic construction of panos has to do with exposure. When I do a pano I scan the angular range of the pano with the camera to find the brightest area. I then adjust the (fixed) exposure such that the brightest area does not have blown highlights. I then use that exposure throughout the pano.

The X-T1 manual, however, states that "exposure for the entire panorama is determined by the first frame." So I would advise switching to manual exposure mode and setting that exposure yourself before starting the pano.

Must confess that the only panos I’ve made with the X-100s were vertical orientation, 
shooting RAW. Didn’t even occur to me to use pano mode. Stitched in Photoshop. Seemed 
fine to me.

This is one of them. Loch Tay, Perthshire, Scotland. Converted using 
SilverEffex Pro.

Yes, Ian, you can make panoramas in portrait or landscape mode, moving left or right.  When 
you’ve selected the mode, look at the cues on the LCD screen.  There’s a key 
for portrait or landscape, one for direction and one for size of angle (120 or 180, I think).

Does the fuji X100S/T and the X-T1 allow horizontal panoramas with the camera 
turned in portrait mode, I seem to remember trying this on my X-T1 but it not 
working but when looking at the specs I see the option for vertical panoramas 
so wonder if it is possible.

My X-T1 won't be back to mid feb - not very happy with over a month turn around 
so emailed fuji switzerland to tell them so and also sent a message to fuji HQ 
in Japan, don't suppose it will do much good but it's worth a try - I have seen 
in the UK turnaround is around a week, no idea about the USA.

so still not decided what to do about my holidays as I really like taking 
photos then and I seem to have lost interest in using the X-Pro1 after using 
the X-T1
