Hi, Juan. Good to have you back. Congrats on the purchase! Paul Stenquist and Cotty recently proved to me with one of my own images that the *ist D can deliver images to be enlarged to A3. That's sufficient quality for me for a good while. At least until a digital alternative using my Pentax 645 lenses comes along...LOL
