Bob, horses for courses of course. Paul does stitching, and focus stacking,
handheld on his M9. While you can do that with an Alpa, the M9 is just
faster to work with in that sense.

For myself, I still prefer "taking it in one shot" than stitching, although
the focus stack can be quite nice to have, eliminating one of the major
needs for camera movement.
