This was just alluded to on another list. Glad to see some sanity about it
here. It can create fictitious information, perhaps looking very natural,
but it cannot create "real" information about what really was there when
the image was made on film.
Where it can really matter is if you shoot a 35 chrome for a catalog, and
the client then decides that it should go to 20x24 for a display duratrans,
and then a 40x60 for a trade show booth. There's where it really pays off!
A superb example, although I'm uncertain how good a 40x60 would look from
35mm regardless how highly resolved the scan is.
And here I sit grousing about extracting 11x16's from 35mm small format
using the highest MTF films I can get my hands on (mostly chromes). My
standard is using a 5x loupe to examine the 11x16 and looking to either
find additional detail or if it starts to "fall apart" at its resolution
limits.
