What is 35mm capable of?

HI,

Last night or the night before, I was looking for something and found an old heap of photo mag's from 1976. One of them had an article about the various B&W films then available and in it a pro said FP4 (not FP4+) was best for exhibitions prints up to 36" and microscopic detail...

Just passing it on.

Regards, David

As I said, this topic seems to come up from time to time. :D
 
And how large can you print a digital file before it becomes painfully obvious that it's not a real print :)
 
I like grain, big grain, but it has to be nice and it only works for some scenes.

When I want sharp I use MF, there are many MF cameras which can take photos with slow shutter speed. With my hasselblad I can shoot down to 1/60s if I need to. With rolleiflex or pretty much any TLR, you can get down to 1/15th since there's no mirror. I rarely if ever use tripod.
