I was able to develop E-6, with 4 provia slides! I used the arista kit, they are looking great! It wasn't that hard at all! A bit more time consuming than b&w (outside of stand dev)
My only problem was messing up when getting them on the steal reels! which unfortunately made some turn out bad... also kinda made me mad because that hasn't happened to me with my negatives and just had to be my slide film! sigh...oh well..wasn't too much of a lost...will try the paterson tank tomorrow, with the velvia shots!

Beautiful camera, and 4x5 is a lovely process. I don't believe there are currently any Polaroid 4x5 films available. A shame, Pola 55 was wonderful. Easy enough to develop 4x5 at home though (Google "the taco method" for more info)
You can use Fuji FP-100c with this camera, with a graflock back which holds the 3.whatever by 4.whatever packfilm that is FP-100c. I do on a regular basis. Also, there is a kickstarter project New55 which is aiming to make new 4x5 sheet film. You can back the project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bobcrowley/new55-film
Some provia from the first roll I developed and scanned! More to come later on, tried to make sure they matched the film some were overly pink (last one).
The rest of my home developed E-6 Film, all Velvia.
There was some major color cast (did some correcting) since the chemicals might have been exhausted or close to it by the 8th roll. Still very fun for me to use, and see them in my hand!
shot my first roll of Kodak ProImage 100 last month. Really like the results of this film. 4 rolls left and I do believe I will have to order some more. Canon ae-1, 50/1.8, walgreens processed, Kodak pakon 135+ scanned.
my vintage 82 GoldWing. Glad springtime is here and can ride more.

I've not had the stones to stitch film photos yet
Do it! Just put the camera in manual, no need to worry about white balance! Until scanning at least...
I started lusting after both a hasselblad xpan and even something like a fuji g617 after seeing photos taken by them recently. Then I realised that not only can I achieve the same effect with my existing cameras, with fast lenses I can achieve an even more distinct look that those cameras cannot. Six or more portrait shots with the rokkor will produce as wider a ratio as the xpan but with more control of dof, and a bigger negative.
I've been stitching for years using digital, and while it's a little more tricky (matching exposure settings when scanning) so far it works just as well.
I've also taken a few 4-5 shot panoramas with the hasselblad which I'll post soon
