Digital BW, The Print

I meant that when enlarged on the monitor to 16 inches wide it looked as
good as it did at 12 inches wide.  I then printed the center part of a
16x24 print and it was fantastic. I'm running off a couple of my cat now
in the 12x18 inch size on watercolor paper.

I'm somewhat surprised at the noticeable increase in sharpens of the
canon macro lenses as compared to the 17-35mm L lens. I had always
thought that a sharp lens, but the macros are much sharper. (I suppose
they would be at close distances !)

I don't see any graininess. What graininess?
