Hi, I shot with a 1Ds a couple of days ago and when comparing the files from it with that from my 35mm gear scanned at 4000dpi, the files from the 1Ds left the 35mm for dead. But as has been said before, this is actually more of a comparison with my scanner and 1Ds, also i have a couple of 645 x 6x7 negs chromes that were scanned on a Imacon and the 1Ds appeared about equivalent to the 645.
I currently have a file from tha 1Ds at the printer, being printed on a Lamba, it will be interesting to see how it goes.
