What is the largest film camera you ever used?

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.

Sounds like some sort of aerial survey or mapping camera. Hycon did make those. A sort of throw back to the one-shot color cameras of the 1930's and 40's.
