I bought my first 8x10 camera just this year and the contact prints are really nice. I would love to play around with 11x14 or 16x20 but the cost of the cameras and lenses are prohibitive for an unemployed amateur like me let alone the the extreme weight of the equipment in the field. BUT, I surely can see why some people go that way, big, grain free, razor sharp contact prints like that must be a real joy to behold.....
