What photoshop program are you using? When I upgraded to CS4 from CS2 (which was not great at assembling panos) I found the vignetting at the corners of wide angles (I also have the magnificent 24 Elmarit) could be compensated for in the pano program and that reduced the vignetting stripes. To determine the nodal point on Leica M single focal length lens place the point of rotation over the aperture ring and you will be at the nodal point. I too find that panos taken with the 50 Lux and longer focal lengths (I use the 90 Summicron and the 135 Elmar depending on the scene) are also very satisfying as the angle of view narrows. I am looking forward to seeing many more.
