jwind · 08-01-2005

The Canon 1Ds MK II is AT LEAST as sharp as Medium format film. I've seen both printed on an Epson 9600 @ 44X62inches. I prefer the Canon Images actually... but like a previous poster said the advantage to MF is the 'better glass' though that's beginning to change as well.

We also have a Sinar 54M digital back which is still far superior.

BTW, this all brings up a question i've had for a while. Why don't we have a Large Format forum?
