I know some of you are going to say I should be using something larger to
make 30x40 prints....

One....... I sold my Hasselblad kit to buy Leica....  

and two.....I am not shooting this with my limited 4x5 kit....

Three...  I'm taking pictures of people in places where a larger system is
more than a bit awkward and lighting is pretty much out of the question....

 
Four....  The normal viewing distance will be 10 to 15 feet... 

Five.... It is the subject matter that is important.... Grain is not so
objectional....

Six.... I'm a bit nuts... but my lab says they have done it before and they
will look great...

So.... I'll let you know when they are done...
