I certainly prefer MF enlargements for the most part, but sometimes grain is cool. This is the Fuji 1600 shot that I printed at 12x18. It was shot for a Toyota television commercial that included some stills, but I liked it as a big print. I printed it on an Epson 1200, and it hung in my sunny office for quite a few years, so it's faded now. Maybe I'll reprint it one of these days on the R2400. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=971474 Paul On Feb 6, 2007, at 7:05 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote:
