I am currently considering the possibility of moving from 8 x 10 to 11 x 14, wit h the interest in making not just contact prints but also mural enlargements by converting an 11 x 14 camera into a horizontal enlarger. Has anyone out there d one this, enlarged 11 x 14 negatives, either by using a converted camera as 11 x 14 enlarger or by using an 11 x 14 enlarger readymade? If so, how difficult di d you find it to convert a camera as such, and how difficult did you find it to make enlargements from 11 x 14 negatives in general, whichever of the two method s you chose? Basically speaking, I am wondering how much I would stand to gain, in terms of sharpness, resolution, vividness, etc., by moving from making 12x e nlargements with 8x10 to making roughly 9x enlargements with 11 x 14.
I am also wondering how much more difficult it will be to photograph (subjects w ill be people mostly) with the 11 x 14 camera vs. an 8 x 10 camera.
Thank you.
