and what was the quality like ?
Genraly my biggest prints are done at A3 +
Which is 13" x 19". At this size its hard to tell the differance between my 12 million pixel D300 and 16 K5.
So It is obvious the K5 is capable of pretty large print sizes. It would be nice to know just how big you can print while still retaining pin sharp detail !
My largest size so far is 20"x30" and its pin sharp. However, i just ordered a canvas print and stretcher bars for a 24"x36". Paid the invoice yesterday so should be here in 2 weeks (slow factory). I think its a winning photo (just placed first in BW (at the 12x18" size)as judged by another club). I intend to enter it into a local juried art show in the fall. This year, they accepted a 60" BW photo (not mine), which was nice, but fuzzy in the details. I exported a 60" file from LR of this photo and examined it. Looked good, but i do my own canvas stretching and i'd have to use braces for something that big. Very tempting - i'll see what kind of reception i get with the 36" version - i have a show at a wine shop for the month of April.
Hey, you only go around once, or more depending on the religion - might as well enjoy it and print large
