Years ago before I knew how big 35mm could be printed I made some quite large photo prints from 25ISO 35mm film and I was well pleased, now of course I know it's not possible :-) I'm quite pleased with the quality of the prints I'm getting from the *ist D up to 12x18" but I don't think they'd stand up too well to scrutiny printed any larger. Sounds like you have having some fun :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
