Response to 6X6 obsolete??

I have an original Ansel Adams 8x10 print made from the 6x6 (Hassy I think). It looks pretty good compared to the exhibitions I have seen of his larger prints made with the 8x10 view camera. However, I doubt if Adams printed beyond 8x10 or 11x14 with the 6x6 negatives. And I believe he used Panatomic-x for most of his 6x6 (for the young folks, Panatomic-X was a Kodak film similar to Ilford Pan-F). Since Brett Weston usually made 8x10 or 11x14 contacts from his view camera negs, I doubt that he would print larger than that with his 6x6.
