Printed they look like they were shot on 4x5 in the first place. Or darned close. With extreme blow ups what you normally think of is ok is not. 125th of a seconds hand held you'd think would be a very comfortable speed with a 50mm or 80mm but at those large mags you'd wish you'd shot those at 250th or 500th and opened up more; and had a lens which worked will opened up more or wide open. The held held rule 50mm lens at 50th of a second would be for 5x7's I think. And not for macro.
