But I still would like to know, what is the result you want to achieve? I'd say that shooting film and putting through some results using drum scanner & qualified scan house would end up to excellent results. Renting 1Ds would cost loads of money, about the same as scanning the best shots in drum scanner. Even though you are experienced shooter, brand new gear may cause some serious problems: within the first couple of days you possibly may not see software bugs and special "features" that new bodies might bring before it's too late. So, even though you might use it as designed, there is always risk, probably small but still risk, in using latest equipment in the beginning. Anyway, I hope you find 1Ds for your use. Please tell us, how it works and what's the rent. I'm switching to digital during this year, probably to D60 or to the new model introduced in the PMA 2003. 1Ds is at the moment a bit too expensive altough I find it perfect body for me. I'v decided to keep my 1VHS as a spare film-body for the special projects after all.
