Digital BW, The Print

Josh,

I would be glad to email a raw file or two from the Canon 20D (now available
as 30D).  You'll need about 10mb for your mailbox, or I can post to an ftp
site.   It is the closest thing to the Digital Rebel that you mention.  I
really like mine, especially with the Canon 10-22mm zoom and primes.
However, I think you will find that the output is not going to be
satisfactory for the print sizes you want.  I tend to print small (e.g.,
10x15 for that format) so I'm happy.  I will mention that I'm going to have
to bite the bullet and go to a full-frame Canon and different lenses,
primarily because I need the extra speed.

Given the static nature of your subjects, why not just go with a 4x5 field
outfit?  It will cost a lot less money and you'll have all the quality you
want.  (Answering my own question, I have LF 4x5 and 8x10 field outfits, but
I am taken with the flexibility and freedom of digital.)

Regards,
