[Leica] Reflections

[robertmeier at usjet.net (Robert Meier)]

Geoff,

I hope I can make large prints from the D600.  I have an Epson 3880 and the 
17x22 inch prints are excellent.  But what I m thinking of when I say large 
prints is much more than that.  An Epson 9890 (I think that's the model 
number) can be had for about $3300 and I'm considering buying that.  It 
makes 44" wide prints so it can print a 44x66" print.  I shot the 
Reflections pictures with the 24-85mm VR Nikkor.  Perhaps I should have used 
the 16-35mm VR.  I'll have a big print or two made first before I make the 
leap into buying my own 44" printer.

Robert

To expand on that printing large comment...
The sensor in your D600 is fine of course. I have one too. I think that
technique and your lens are more likely to find you out when you print
large. Nowhere to hide ;-)
Purely on number and quality of pixels, I always got excellent results in
13x19 prints from the M8 with a good lens AND good technique.
