On a piece of paper, I drew out the various film sizes - 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 - and noticed that 5x7 isn't really that much bigger than 4x5. Even though it's only 1" wider than 5x7, 5x8 really starts to feel like a larger negative.
I guess what I'm really asking is what is the biggest bang for your buck (or rather what is the largest film size I can use per dollar).
