but I also kinda wanna capture the landscape stuff on 120 should I have a Mamiya instead of a T2 just so I can make extra large prints of scenic stuff or is 35mm more than sufficient.
What size are you thinking of printing at ? 35mm film is fine for most sizes
Things like lens sharpness/ focus, film type (depending on aesthetic) and scan size (if you're not darkroom printing) tend to more limiting factors as print sizes get bigger.I got an A3 C-type print done from a Kodachrome slide of my wife's parent's wedding, and while it's fine from a distance up close you can tell either the photographer's lens wasn't particularly sharp, or they missed focus.
I'd imagine this isn't a problem Steve Mccurry has when he's selling prints of his Afghan Girl Kodachrome slide.Try making prints of your existing 35mm photos from the camera you'll be using at the size you want to exhibit at before you go ? See how they look ?

So I have a dilemma, Ive got a big euro trip coming up next month Im away for like 6 weeks.
I want to shoot lots of landscapes and stuff and potentially do a wee show in Glasgow later in the year.
I've got a M6 with a 35mm but I kinda fancy a T2 to make things a bit faster and not miss stuff as discussed a few pages ago but I also kinda wanna capture the landscape stuff on 120 should I have a Mamiya instead of a T2 just so I can make extra large prints of scenic stuff or is 35mm more than sufficient. Also will probs take my digital camera too so that could cover that but will lose some of the softness obviously that the film has.
Ive never shot 120 btw just got it in my head that im maybe missing a trick.
Thanks
