Re: Papers available in 11X14?

2006-10-01 by ginnylady33

I'm using a Pentax 6X7, not 35 mm. 

I am not limiting myself to 11X14. It's just a size that I use for
certain images and a size that many people prefer to purchase.

 I did not want to make this a debate about which size is best.
That issue is a matter of taste and tastes vary greatly.
