Everything depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. I wanted to contact
print mine, so I shot 8X10 (these can be seen at
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hmpi/Projects/BearSkins/BearSkins.htm) and used
the Van Dyke process to print tem out. I primarily use 4X5 (this and larger is
considered large format - 120 film is considered medium format) for its
flexibility and have enlarged it to 16X20, though I feel that some images would
not work well with this size enlargement.
It really depends upon what you are looking to do, so you'll need to make the
judgement for your own images. I do not believe that there is a universal
answer for this.
