Hello George

I don't have as much faith in the consumer films as these guys do. I would bet 8x10 for an iso 200 film would be safe. The lens you shot with, the shutter speed you had, whether your lens was stopped down at all, and who prints it for you will all influence your ability to blow up a negative. Take it to a pro shop or at least a Ritz Camera with a Fuji Frontier (or equiv) mahine.

As to black and white, I know the Frontier can do this, and I assume the pro shops will do it though they may charge a "custom printing" charge to your order. I think Ritz would do it for free.

As to the lettering, you're out of luck unless you decide to do it yourself, ie scan the negs or prints then convert to black and white and add lettering, then send the file out to the pro lab/Ritz/whoever to have it printed.

Hope this helps,
Rick
