If the negatives are sharp, 11X14 still looks great with Leica Glass. When these enlargements are hung on the wall, observers do not view them from inches away and will not notice the grain anyways.

I'll be leaving next week to spend a few days travelling through Morocco and plan on visiting places not so frequented by tourists. I've been warned of beggars, cons and thieves. I usually travel with a Mamiya 6MF and 75 as well as an M camera with 4 lenses (I like rangefinders). >Since I'd like to travel as light as possible and yet maintain the best quality, should I go for the medium format (only a "normal" lens) or settle on the smaller negative with the versatility of 4 lenses(21,35,50,90). The best shots will probably be blown up to 8x10 and film is both chrome and b/w for both formats. My Leica images blown to 8x10 rarely look as good as the medium format ones blown to the same size (all else being equal). Any ideas? > >Thanks and regards to all, >Jorge Fernandez >US Embassy, Madrid > > > > >
