That depends upon a lot ot things. Your quality standards. The particular image.
I have never felt bad about good quality 5x7's (5x) from 35mm. If the image is strongly graphical (bold shapes, shadows, etc.) rather than detailed, I have found 16x prints work OK. However, it should be noted that back when I had some mounted and framed 16x24 35mm prints on the wall they were hung behind the sofa so people could not press their noses up against them.
However, note that those same magnification limits tend to apply to larger formats to, and a 16x 64"x80" inch print from a 4x5 negative is definately a big print.

So, Rob, William, JCO, et al - How much of an enlargement do you feel you can get with landscapes from 35mm before you're disappointed? 5x7? 8x10? Surely not 11x14, or so I would think.
I've only ever shot 35mm, so I'd like to know your personal experience.
