printing 35mm and 120. how big and where?

Hi all,

I've been given an opportunity to display some work and just wanted some advice RE the following:

1) maximum print size from a 35mm neg and a 120mm neg
2) best place to get prints done and mounted (value!)
3) best size to go for if prints to be viewed from 1m to 4m away.

1) From 35mm i have pushed it (depending on the grain) to 16x12 inches without much hassle. From 6x45cm medium format i've printed at 20x24 inches (maximum the enlarger can take) and it's clean. If you are having inkjet prints done then you can push it more however
2) I would say somewhere like Peak Imaging or Loxleys,
3) Best size, that's something only you can answer really. When i was at the Ansel Adams exhibition there were prints ranging from 6x7cm to several metres x several metres and from 1-4m viewing distance they were fine
