Best print size for D£ crop factor

[Bampson]

hi

thinking of doing some one off prints to sell.

looking at loxley's website it occurred to me that the D3 has a crop factor of 5:4 but none of the sizes they offer seem to match up.

so the question is do i go for 12x9 or 12x10 prints ?

any suggestions gratefully received.

The aspect ratio of a D3 is 3x2. In which case any multiple of that will do, ie 12x8, 15x10, 18x12 etc.

Actually just discovered that the D3 (and D800) had the option of a 5x4 crop in camera. I didn't realise that was one of the differences between the D3 and the D700 I own which has the same sensor. Apologies.
I'd go with the cheaper print, as you're going to be trimming either way and consider shooting in 3x2 in future for more print options!

thanks for that ..
