I think so, as - if I remember correctly - they are planning to make indications with much finer steps than the traditional lenses. So basically similar to Arca's approach just with the current helical mount. Still, I bet this will improve things significantly!Show me or explain me how you do it . I am curious .
A LEICA DISTO 5 is in my head but not on my wishlist yet .
Might be , that the new ALPA "precision focussing device" will speed up a decision .
Once you know the distance of the camera front plate to the sensor you simply can put the disto on the front of the camera and use the respective offset value. I'm sure Alpa knows the distance... if not there are appropriate measurement devices that you can loan from a precision mechanic.
As far as my understanding goes the D5 can also store offset values so that you don't even have to calculate it for each focussing distance.
You could also prepare a small metal plate with a spacer that you hold against the rear of the camera so that the disto alignes with the sensor plane.
Finally you could even mount it on a small bracket and put it on the hot shoe of the camera... though this is a bit impractical as you have to point the entire camera to measure a certain distance.
