Just by coincidence I had earlier pulled out a Velvia transparency to look at on my lightbox. It's an 8 X 10 transparency. You think 6 X 7 looks great!! I shot it some time ago on my old Eastman 2D camera with a Voigtländer 300mm f/4.5 Apo-Lanthar. I always rated it between EI 25 and 40, testing each batch first. On a commercial shoot I'd also bracket in 1/3 stop increments. I'd offer to put up a scan, but I don't have a scanner that can handle an 8 X 10 trannie.
It was shot on assignment for a British magazine whose editor insisted he had to have 8 X 10. So I spent a day shooting. When the magazine came out it was about 2 X 3 inches on the page!! No idea why the editor thought he had to have 8 X 10.
