Seems to me that one side of the sky/image should be brighter in these. It's
where the sun is. You would expect a brightening toward the principal light
source as you got closer. If you go out and look at the landscape on a bright
sunny day, the light is nowhere near uniform. Only when shooting a small slice
of the 'scape would you expect some degree of uniformity.
I saw nothing that struck me as "not quite right" about these pannos.
