I also think that the scanning a medium format negative sounds a lot easier than stitching 196 seperate shots together. 1DMkIIn, 20D and S80 - Full gear list

I also think that the scanning a medium format negative sounds a lot easier than stitching 196 seperate shots together. But I'm struggling to think of a situation where there is going to be a strong demand for 3m x 2m, 300dpi, magazine quality images. Then again Bill Gates is famously (though not sure how acurately) quoted, in the early 80's, as saying "Why would a home computer ever need more than 640k of memory?" which has since been ridiculed for it's shortsightedness.

I'm sure those will come in handy in 100 years on the history channel, lol. Those images are ALLOT more detailed then anything out there currently. 10D, EF17-40L, EF50F1.4, EF28-135IS, 550EX [AlienBees 2xB800 and 1xB400 with large softbox and reversible umbrella] Sekonic L-358
