To date I have never made prints >bigger than 12"x16" although occasionally I'm cropping to 12x16". There definitely is a difference between 4x5 and 6x6 or 6x7. I use 4x5 and 6x6 extensively. I make very large prints. 48x60 from 4x5 and 48x48 from 6x6. Up close, you can definitely see a difference. Same film (Velvia). Stand back 20 feet and you cannot tell. Jim
