There is diffraction at small apertures (but would that be relevant for a 30x40 print), and there is the question if "wide open" (5.6-11) there could be issues with the fit of the old plate/film magzines and with the film flatness in the holder itself...
I read the calculation article here, but I wolud like to get some hints from the 4x5 guys, what is a reasonable aperture for the Syymar S 5.6/210 for example. Theoretically the lens should perform best at 11?, but if shutter speed is no problem, would you go for 16/22/32? for safety reasons? Yust a practical advice to get started into LF without to many side problems... Thanks.
