[MF3D.FORUM:791] Viewer magnification vs negative enlargement

When we say that our 80mm FL MF viewing lenses are a 3x
magnification, how does that compare to negative enlargement
calculations?   Are enlargement and magnification measured
the same way?  Is viewing a 2-1/4" chrome with 80mm FL
lenses roughly equivalent to viewing a 6-3/4" print? (In
terms of evaluating sharpness, for example.)  Or is it
like viewing a 9" print (1+ method)?  Or something totally
different?
