i've been printing 4x5 b&w and color negs at 8x10 for the last 4 months or so. while i do see some increase in tonality and resolution (i'll explain), i'm missing the snappy sharpness that i'm used to seeing in 6x7 neg prints. would i see this in larger prints from the 4x5? i understand that hi-res images at low magnifications can sometimes appear smooth in a way that looks "soft" as opposed to snappy. about the resolution, i know that my 4x5 system may have a lower overall resolution, but the large image area records details that are not rendered as clearly on the smaller negs. so, to me it looks like more resolution.
