Compare the 1Ds with 28-70 2.8 at 28/2.8
<http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1ds/page16.asp>
with the E-1 with 14-54 2.8 at 14/2.8
<http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympuse1/page17.asp>
The 1Ds review images are a darker gray overall than the E-1 images.
After pulling them into PhotoShop and adjusting the balance between the
two I think the far corners of the 1Ds image are a stop or two darker
than the corners of the E-1 image. However, if you crop to a 5x7 ratio
the vignetting is about the same and, at a 4/3 ratio like the E-1, the
1Ds actually exhibits less vignetting.
