A lot of comments have been made by people on this and other message boards that they are still waiting for a full frame sensor like the EOS-1Ds. My question is; what is to keep Canon from introducing a line of "EF-D" lenses which fit on the standard EOS body mount but had a smaller image circle on the film plane and optics that effectively removed the multiplier penalty? Does Canon really have to strive for a 24x36mm sensor?

Absolutely! Why would I want to build up two sets of lenses for 35mm? The 1Ds is the perfect solution at a less than perfect price. I like my EOS 3, and I will probably never sell it, but I want to be able to use my current lenses on any digital camera I buy. I have spent thousands of dollars over the years for equipment I now know very well how to use. I will not spend thousands more to build up a second system. If I have to, I will wait until a 1Ds (or successor to it) is sold new or used for a more reasonable price. If not, I still can scan my 35mm 120mm slides and be quite happy without a digital camera.
