I don't really have a dog in this fight, er, discussion, not anymore,
anyway, since selling my Nikon kit. Limited now to a Fuji 23mm on the
X-100s, which, as I recall, is roughly 35mm on full frame. But on this past
trip I did make several wider shots than the camera allowed by stitching
two images, sometimes three, as I tended to shoot portrait mode when I
intended to stitch. Can't be sure at this point, but I _think_ this might
be preferred for wide angle shots, especially when time permits use of
tripod.
