You would do better to set the zoom to 12mm. At 8mm, you waste half of the available pixels on black space surrounding the image circle. At 12mm, you still get full 180 degree coverage vertically and perfectly adequate overlap horizontally. Furthermore, you then don't include the black bit of the panorama head on the right hand side. Much simpler and better all round. On occasion, you might want more overlap for one reason or another, but 12mm is generally satisfactory. It's equivalent to what people get with the Sigma 8mm on their APS-C cameras.
