Hi John, it seems to me that you've not read or not understood my posts on the matter (please reading on before you reply). Try to think about this whole concept rationally, just because YOU have no problems purchasing and processing sheet film or carrying your gear to your favourite shooting locations doesn't mean everyone else is in the same position. I for one don't wish to kit up to process sheet film, also chemistry and film is getting harder to come by and expensive plus labs that can handle processing are quite expensive to deal with around here. I also would not like to be lugging LF gear up a bloody mountain, that's why I purchased my Mamiya 7 Kit, even the P67 was way over the top weight wise. For 95% of the subjects that I'd consider worthy of dedicating a sheet of 4x5 film to the stitching technique would work, for the other 5% my 67 gear will provide a worthy compromise. I'm keen to see how Larry fares with his new work- flow. I hope he sells hundreds of stitched prints at US$250 each but I don't think his purchasers with give a rats ass what he used to shoot the damned things with.
