I was wondering what 35mm film speed is best to enlarge photos up to 8 x 10 when shooting landscape and nature shots.
I use a Minolta Maxxum 50 camara and have been matting and framing photos for charity auction for a couple of years.

For that size, or a bit larger, the Ilford Delta 100 and Kodak 100UC or 400UC, will give you very good results. And in slide film, any of the 100 speed slide films will be fine.

I would also highly recommend Ilford Delta 100. With a good scanner you could make some hybrid process prints up to 16x20 with excellent quality. -- Tim
