Prints from SLR

What's the largest quality photo-print before the image starts
deteriorating, that can be obtained from a Canon EOS 20D (8.2 mgpx) using
optimum settings and a good Canon lens.

Thanks

BIG. I have a 20 inch print around here that was made from a cropped down
file from my 6.3mpix rebel.
20x30" for 20d??

Here's a tip that I use: Since it does depend on the quality of the image,
and not so much the megapixels, take 1/4 of the image and blow it up to
8x10. That would be the equivalent of a 16x20. If you do a little math you
can do this with any portion of your image and immediately see what it will
look like in a print at any size.

Hope this helps. BTW, when I say the number of megapixels doesn't matter,
it does, but even at 8 megapixels you can only blow up a poor image so much,
while you can really push the envelope with a good image.

What's your suggestion (and why) for a good macro lens.

Oh, I dunno Stacey, Maybe an Evolt image might but not a Canon one!

It all depends on viewing distance, doesn't it? ;-)
