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 ?

I’ve printed like 20x18 before but wanna print like A1 or A0 and wasn’t sure how it would hold up.
My M6 has a Voightlander 35 2.5 on it right now which isn’t the sharpest but just don’t know if I can afford the Summicron I’d love before I go!
Hence why I was looking at a T2 or a 120 camera as they can be had for around 500!
I know that Film Dev can scan the images on a drum scanner and the files are massive so potentially that could be the winner in the full situation as upose to maybe getting a medium format and then having to take the time on every shot when potienally I can get it on 35 and it’s not far off the same.
I think photographers Akila Berjoui and Cameron Hammond are shooting 35 for most Stuff and are selling pretty large prints!
Just tryna make the most of the time I’m away, gotta sort film too but I think I’ll shoot mostly everything on Portra 400 like I usually do!

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
