Depends. How do you define sharp? You can do billboards with 35mm and they will
look sharp. But if you mean putting your nose up against it sharp, probably 5x7.
From 2 feet or so maybe 16x. That assumes medium speed film, with something
like Techpan you can go bigger. These are pretty much grain limitations, you can
get sharp grain with huge blowups. Good technique is more important than
equipment, any decent lens and enlarger will give about the same results.

experience, how big can one make a sharp print from a 35mm negative (and
which enlarger/ lens combo)?
