I use 4X5 and 8X10 all the time. The advantage is that you can use film
holders to swap the film out, so shooting is not a one shot deal.

I also use 10X12 half-tone film and develop with dilute Dektol. The pictures
"Jimmy" at http://members.home.net/hmpi/Pinhole/Images/PinholeImages.htm and
"We Are Glad you Are Here" at
http://members.home.net/hmpi/AltProcess/Images/AltImages.htm were made this
way. The advantage of this film is that it is so cheap (something like 50
cents per sheet of 10X12).

Cheers -
