Yes, same logic. As sharp as Leica glass is, why would you want to dilute 
it by enlarging your images?

Actually, 35mm contact prints are very efficient for apartment dwellers. 
You can put a whole photo gallery on even the smallest wall. It's also 
very economical: you can get your framing done at the toy store, using 
picture frames made for doll houses.
