Hi Zuikos
I have received back some landscapes I shot on Velvia with various Zuiko primes
on a tripod. What is the received opinion on how big these can be printed
before grain (or whatever) starts to take its toll?
I recently read a few articles extolling the virtues of 6 X 4.5 and 6 X 6
(heresy I know) for such shots saying that past 8" X 10" the 35mm was badly
outclassed. Many years ago I shot a lot of 35mm on Tri-X and loved the grain,
texture and contrast at 11" X 14" on grade 3 or 4 paper.
However, I recognize that colour landscapes are a totally different deal to the
photo-journalism I used to do, and different again over the Ansel Adam's type
Black&White I tried and loved back then.
Anyway, what I don't want to do is get enlargements made too large (waste of
$'s and prints). So, what is the collective wisdom of this group?
Many thanks
