I'm glad I'm not the only one ;-) I seem to be trying to handle 20 x 24 
paper, just to get a reasonable feeling print. I now routinely make two 
images of each neg, which means I have lots of spares to give out to 
the family ;-) It seems the print feels about as large as its smallest 
length. I felt that way when lining up horseshoe bend with the 30mm 
lens, plenty of width, but the lens doesn't feel "wide-angle".

cheers
