Hi John,
I have made numerous16"x20" enlargements and have gone as large as 20"x24"
with this lens. They are as sharp as any I have ever made with any fixed
focal length lens. Popular Photography (August 1995) tested this lens. At
the size 20"x24" they rated the lens an SQF of "A+ or A" at the 50mm and
80mm focal lengths, and a B+ at 35mm. There are very few lenses of any
type that can match its performance. Plus its fast! But it is heavy.
