You lose tonal range as the print gets larger, but this has zero to do with
Zuikos but everything to do with film size.  Now days most everything in
the printing (offset) industry is scanned so the tonal loss doesn't happen
like it does in photographic enlargments.  I can make a 4R print or a 40'
Billboard from a high-quality digital scan and just lose resolution without
losing color/contrast.
