35mm beyond 14x17
I'll do my best with Provia 100 since I think it scans

+0.7 for good measure.

35mm beyond 14x17
If you used fine-grained ISO 100 slide film, a 16x20 will look decent.
I've seen 20x24 prints from ISO 50 Velvia 35mm film and the look pretty

The 300dpi Myth Exploded !
Then how do you suppose I made a 24"x36" print at 160dpi?
That's over 22 megapixels.
Just for fun I took my pic and printed 5x7 crops from it at 160dpi and
