What size prints are you making from the 4 x 5 negs?

I'd like to comment.
I can say from experience it is great because with color negative film the film resolution is not as good as BW and the grain is worse than BW so by going to LF with color, those limitations are nearly completely eliminated.
What I do is shoot 4x5 color neg, develop negs, scan negs, and print myself at home. NO LABS involved. It is easy to do it all and the results are beautiful. I never use to do color LF until I discovered how easy and inexpensive it is to develop c-41 LF at home.

Allow me to aks the ultimate "Mr. Clueless" question. What's it like doing color LF?
