Kevin, m'lad ... depends on many factors, including film used, degree of accurate exposure, quality of processing, quality of gear (sharpness of lenses, alignment of enlarger), viewing distance, etc. Let me say this: I've viewed some 24x36 prints from Salgado made with 35mm TX that when viewed from relatively close distances were outstanding in their detail and sharpness (Cory Waters will attest to the quality). I've also seen portions of a 35mm negative that were blown up to about eight feet wide using a proprietary process and a Tango drum scanner that showed virtually NO grain and superb sharpness and detail even when viewed close up (within inches of the print!).
However, if you can't get something nice at about 60-inches on the short side from a 6x7 negative, your gear and your technique need serious improvement. Shel > From: Kevin Waterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > What are the acceptable max enlargements for 6x7?
