Re: OT MF film sizes

2003-09-29 by wilfredm71047

Having used and printed small med and large format is have to agree 
with the other posters. The bigger the better for printing. One of 
the members in our camera club uses the Mamiya 7. His images compete 
with all format sizes and against some good printer. The images from 
that Mamiya 7 will Knock your socks off. They are some of the 
sharpest lenses I have seen.

    My 2 cents
