Lovely result.

We'd love to see the rig. Surely you have a second 1Ds Mk III you could shoot it with.

Here are some photos of my adapter.

There are three different types on eBay at the moment. Two that are Moveable for stitching and one that is fixed.

Type one on Ebay

Type two on eBay

Type three on eBay

WARNING:

The unit i have needs to have an alignment error repaired. The locking pin hole is slightly out of position so I need to either make it larger or drill another one several mm over from the existing one!

Interesting. What advantage do you hope to gain from the pain, Will?

He has movements and excellent files to stitch. Also, the 1DsIII makes a perfect through the lens focal plane lightmeter for film!
