By now I've shooted many pictures with a EOS 1Ds, mostly with 14mm and 16-35mm, and I can say: 1. There are some pictures with not so sharp borders but same happened with these lens and my EOS 1v film camera 2. This does not happen always but only when the corners have very contrasty objects 3. 95% of images are not only usable but the best I've got in 35mm cameras digital or not 4. I can see this is not a camera for PJs as the huge size of files produces makes workflow not very quick nor comfortable. 5. I love the camera! But so do I with my Leicas. Kind regards Felix PS I'm awaiting from our friend Stephen Gandy a lens adaptor for using my R lens in the 1Ds, mainly the outstanding 21-35mm. If someone is interested in this experience I can give my opinion in few weeks.(Then the mail will be on topic) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
