Digital BW, The Print

I too have a 1Ds and have printed 24x36 prints on my Epson 9500 from its files.  The prints look fine at normal viewing distances, but I believe that is the limit for this camera.  With close viewing of this size print, one can see the pixels making the image.  I never wanted to print anything bigger the 24x36 because I don't think the files would print well.

I did print a 32x48 from a 5D file once.  The image suffered from the unsharpness of the lens.  I don't think very highly of Canon's lenses.  I have printed 44x44 inch prints from my Hasselblad with PhaseOne H20 back, and the 48mb file looked great.  I don't think the size of the file matters as much as the quality of it.
