Yes. He's amazing lining yo the pixels! But isn't the purpose of that for 
increased depth of field, not increased data per area of scene covered? 
Somewhat a substitute for tilt?

I guess the only reason I am digging in on this subject is that I have used 
both. They like M and a medium format back. I have tried Phocus stacking 
with both also. I see a very big difference in the color depth and detail 
with my medium format back then I do with my Leica.

I think it's the same physics that comes into play between 35mm and medium 
/large format photography.
Best,
Bob
