I use 30 degree spacing for about 20% overlap. Because the panning support should be level for a single row pano your horizon (assuming flat ground) will then be across the middle of the frame. So there is more room to crop doing it that way. I focus on infinity, not a hyperfocal distance and use DoF as wanted for closer objects where applicable. Howard and I put together a couple of examples and I made some suggestions here (in the pretty much moribund LUG Pearls Wiki). http://wiki.leica-users.org/index.php/Panorama_Photography Caution: Gearhead type article! Yes I know it can be done more simply of course.
