Another thing [and partially following from the perspective thing): if you want / need to shoot for stitching panorama, 16mm is too wide. Use something like 24mm or longer. You will need to merge more shots but the result will be better

In 35 mm equivalence, the 28 mm is a wide angle but perspective distortion is not an issue in most cases.  However, by the time you get to 24 mm this is an ultra wide angle lens and is very sensitive to perspective distortion.  Of course the 28 mm is 18 mm on APSC and 24 is 16 in fuji X land.

Any offset from perfectly level will be noticeable in a 16.  So yes for panorama stitching a 23 or 24 sounds quite a bit better.
