CompactFlash goes up to 160MB/s. If memory serves, the IQ3's should get close to max speed with these cards.  Sandisk is really the only option, especially since the Lexar warranty in the USA is still TBD after the purchase from China.

Old Lexar 1066x and Sandisk extreme pro are the ones. Probably I’d invest in Sandisks now.
(I shootmostly llandscape, so speed was not my biggest concern. And from the top of my head if you shoot 16 bit L, that is less than a frame per sec, and that kind of IIQ is less than 160MB, so the card should’t be the bottleneck.
