On stitching, never said it was applicable to all types of images but it is to many in fact. Look, I shoot GFX and IQ4-150 for my landscape work. But even so I stitch when possible. And laziness is how I look at myself when I don’t stitch but could.
102mp is better than 60 or 45 for sure, but in the end isn’t that different. Few people, if any, would describe a print made from a 102mp camera as super sharp vs one made from a Z8 file. On the other hand I have on my wall a 2m wide print made from a 2008 250mp stitch that make every visitor go WoW… shot with a D3x and Zeiss 100mm f2.0 Makro.
Btw I would use an X2D instead if the lenses were weather sealed. Half of my landscape work is done in snowy conditions and the gear often ends up very wet due to condensation. The GFX lenses aren’t 100% as good but don’t need baby sitting.
