Ha!
An Agfa Mk3 with the potential to use film up to 20x24 inches,
although I've only used it with film as large as 16x20.
There seems to be fairly sound physics for saying that some where
between 5x4 and 8x10 is the golden zone where all the trade offs
between diffraction limits, depth of field considerations and film
grain maximizes the amount of detail captured on film.
Very flat subjects allow one to move a little towards the larger end,
but keeping the film flat and aligning everything correctly can
compromise your gains there.
All the best

Mine was a Hycon that had 3 cameras side by side with three rolls
of film that shot simultaneous images one with a red filter, one
with a green filter, and one with a blue filter. Then the B&W
images were put back together using the same filters to make color
images. Each negative was 9.5 inches by 18 inches.
