Well, that's about the limit for a 35 mm enlargement anyway, even one
taken with a prime lens. Or isn't it?
I for one limit my 35 mm enlargements to 12 x 18 inches, max, unless I
absolutely WANT to show off the grain in a cropped portion of the
negative (as I do sometimes in B&W portraits.). Anything intended to be
enlarged bigger than that, I shoot with medium or large format.
Cheers.
