tturner,
WOW! That Sigma EX DG 3.5 is SO different to the older 4.0 version.
Less flare, less vignetting, less chromatic aberration, more sharpness - completely different RAW settings required. I did a quick panorama with your "Pumphouse" images and have .zipped up the final result with the Photoshop CS2 RAW settings I used for this result. They are .xmp files. I used the pumphouse.xmp as my starter point and work the other images from there. But basically only slight "Chromatic Aberration" adjustments were required between images.
It must be said I didn't spend a real lot of time on this extracting the best possible results (which would be subjective anyway!)
I found the "seams" pretty close and really only affected the zenith shot which I cubed and repaired in Photoshop with the "healing" tool only.
Obviously using a blending program like Smartblend or Enblend would have eliminated the issue all together. But for this exercise it was all about using Panoweaver and Photoshop only.
