I wouldn't attempt to print anything that large myself. That goes
straight to the lab. I don't have ready access to anything wider than
24" and even then I don't do the printing. It's done for me by a friend.
The 5D will easily make a 30x40 but that's a portrait type print where
exquisite detail might well not be desired. Architectural detail might
be something else. I haven't done anything that large. But I have a
commercial shot (the yards and offices of a trucking firm) that looks
really great and finely detailed in 20x30.
