big film
I regularly use Kodak TriX 8x10" film in my old Deardorff for portraits & landscapes. I buy my film from the US. Some of the lenses I use have enormous coverage and correction. My favourite is the 19" Red Dot Apo Artar. Ironically, large format film and cameras are going through boom times in the US. 8x10" is considered 'small' in these circles. Big film cameras are very satisfying to use - like setting up for an oil painting. I miss Tech Pan. It really showed up whether you had good technique, lenses and processing (both for terrestrial & astro) - when used well it gave excellent results. However, I'm not going to try and compare it to ccd or an 11k as elsewhere here.
