I had a 1ds on trial, whilst I did not have a shift lens, I did have the L series 24mm 1.4, which was a real beauty, but it suffered a little fringing and also highlighted the sensor's inability to resolve fine detail at a distance ie. a landscape or even a large building perhaps. On close up images the Canon is cracking for a single shot, but I could not live with the former resolution issue. The imacon Ixpress would knock its socks off, of course it will also knock your bank balance's socks off ! .... but you get what you pay for I'm afraid, sometimes !

It would be well worth testing the shift lens with the camera as I have heard tell of softness and fringing which would make adjustment in photoshop preferable. Is there anyone out there using the Canon shift?
