Just saw this "MF back" released for use on the Sony NEX -- looks like it contemplates mounting a MF lens onto the device, but it also appears mounted on a 4x5 back so imagine it is designed for use on a 4x5 camera as well. It seems there would be something like a 2.2x crop factor if using a 4x5 lens so maybe not ideal for the kinds of landscape and architecture shots amenable to stitching. Not sure how you compose either or how the mechanics of the shifting work (is it automatic and if so, how fast does it cycle through the shots?).

I know digital stitching methods aren't new, but the Sony NEX cameras bodies are tiny so it could be fairly convenient coupled with a good MF lens.
Anyone have thoughts on pros/cons of using digital cameras to stitch together large photos vs. traditional LF photography with scanning and digital processing?
