Oh I don't know, Cartier Bresson's large format prints from 40 year
old negs look pretty good to me.  But Bresson was more on intuition
than engineering, and I don't think he made his photos or prints for
photo geeks who look at a print from 2 inches away.

I love making 24x36" prints on an Epson 7000 from 800 speed color negs
shot with a $90 point and shoot.  Why?  Because they look great.

I also own and shoot regularily with the best glass available for
35mm, 6x7, and 4x5, and I'm here to tell you resolution isn't what
photography is about unless you're a geek!

Ducking for cover,

Dave:)
