It would be an interesting venture, however if I were that concerned with detail I'd probably have shot it with my MF gear (non-PC) lens and then cropped it out of the big frame (after scanning it at 4000DPI of course) :-) For every day images I find the convenience and quality of the digital process to be acceptable. I can apply the process to an image shot with any lens I own and I can produce *ist D based prints up to 30x45cm with very acceptable corner detail. I'll happily send you a perspective corrected *ist D based print if you have doubts.
