Try printing some of your M6/Voightlander images at A0/1 before you go to see how they look ? Drum scan will help as long as the lens is sharp and the subject is in focus, if you're after a sharp look that is.
A large part depends on your style, how do you want your prints to look ? Moriyama and Klein print quite big and their images are often quite soft and had gobs of grain (when they shot 35mm film). Michael Kenna conversely shoots 120 Tri-X on a Hasselblad and prints tiny in comparison at 8x8"

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!
