Yes, but they are fun to make and look at.  Luckily, my "little" Bronica RF
645 with Tech Pan in it can make nearly perfect 40 inch prints.

Question:  What MP count is going to be needed for a sharp 30 x 40 B&W print
from a digital camera?  I've been estimating that at least 24 mp in a full
frame 35mm might be what I need to wait for.  (I'm hoping my TP stash in the
freezer lasts long enough for such to be affordable.)
