My colleague and I have been printing a lot of 20x24's in my darkroom 
lately. Her more than me, but that's not the point.

She uses a Pentax 6x7 and I've been using my Linhof 4x5 and Hasselblad. We 
both have 35mm's as well. She has an R8 and I have M6 and R7.

After printing from 4x5, 6x7, and 6x6, occasionally  we will have to print 
something from 35mm. You suddenly see, first hand, what film is made of.
