All of the suggestions you are getting are recommending a full-frame 50mm lens. On your DX body, your field of view will be the same as a 75mm on a full frame body due to the 1.5 crop factor. Find a 35mm G FX lens which will translate down to the field of view of a 50 on your DX body and it will function fully in AF.

I would say that the first one is the more successful one, Scott?
I would only remove the disturbing structure on the right side, because it draws needless attention - while the opening in the clouds (or fog) brings your eye to the subject - the marvelous landscape.
Happy shooting!
Cheers!

It is clouds swirling around the summit and fog down on the water behind the Porcupine Islands and moving around Schoodic Peninsula. When I left my hotel, the town was socked-in. When I got up there around 3:30, Bar Harbor itself was under a dome of fog glowing from the town's lights. About the time this picture was taken a couple hours later, a breeze started to move out the fog across the Bay toward Winter Harbor and Schoodic.

Left the hotel room and my wife sleeping at 3 a.m.. She grunted, "Knock yourself out."

Thanks everyone.
This image I took on Saturday morning while in Bar Harbor for an art show I was in. I had just received a used 28-70 2.8D zoom for use on my D850. That was the only lens I packed for the weekend. Normally I had only used primes for my landscapes. For a 1st gen vintage AF-S lens from the late 90s, it did quite well.

Thanks all for your kind words. This would make a fine centerpiece for my art show display.

Beautiful pano. Is it on your wall yet?
Not this one yet. But here is one from 2018 that I did as a silver Fuji print between acrylic and an aluminum panel in 72x24.

Quill Hill is located off Oddy’s Road on Route 16 in Dallas Plantation between Rangeley and Stratton, Maine and is known for its scenic views. This is a northwest pano with Rangeley to your left on Rangeley Lake and Eustis/Stratton on the right. Sugarloaf is to the East directly behind this vantage point.
I mocked-it up with the living room to give you a sense of scale as a 120" long triptych.

Thanks to everyone. Despite being mid-June, it was cold up there at the summit. I was wearing a down parka and gloves. Just before sunrise, the parking lot filled up with cars and a lot of those tourists weren't dressed for it.

Well done, and a great location. 
I think the highlights on the foreground vegetation are particularly striking.

The original raw captures were very dark for the foreground. I opened up the shadows in the NEF processor before exporting them to Photoshop and making the pano merge.
