bob_salomon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Depends on how you are measuring. Enlarging 5” to 10” is 2x. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisbrown Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Depends on how you are measuring. Enlarging 5” to 10” is 2x. Always measured enlargements by area, not linear measurements. Been in it for over 50 years, and I've always used area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However enlarging lens manufacturers do it linearly in their specifications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G. Dainis Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Area. If it takes 20 one foot square tiles to tile a 4x5 foot room, How many tiles would it take to tile a room that is twice as large? Hint: an 8x10 foot room that is twice as large as a 4x5 foot room would take 80 tiles not 40 tiles.. Area varies as the square of the linear measure. Double the size of the print and the enlargement has to be spread over 4 times the area. James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 You can use whatever measurement you are comfortable with, Lens manufacturers use linear measurement for enlarging. They aren’t building houses. But they might me measuring them photogrammetricaly, even then they used linear for magnification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jakenan Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Maybe you can always sell it. Maybe not! As film supply shrinks for 810 you have a limiting market! Good Point ! OP If you can't sell it as a camera you can sell it to an interior designer as a curiosity piece or to a "repurposed", I've seen quite a few 8x10 cameras converted to lamps.
