Both negative and positive color are quite practical
for home processing but I don't know the cost per roll or
sheet and its very useful to have a partially automated
machine like the Jobo processors.

It's well under a dollar a sheet -- but don't expect pro-lab results
without a fair amount of work keeping your process under control.

You ever done E6? I have and it's not something I care
to be doing.

Did you really mean Kodachrome? Kodachrome is not
E-6.

Nor is it available in 4x5 last time I looked.

I don't often develope E-6, but as far as time/temp control is concerned,
it's no more critical than C-41. I process C-41 a couple times a week. I use
a themostat controlled water tank, and a roller base for the film tank.

Ouch. If that's Boston, Massachusetts, who does your work?

I'm very happy with Dorian Color in Arlington at $3/sheet. For a cheaper
option, Newtonville Camera says they do 4x5 E-6 at $2/sheet; I keep
meaning to give it a shot, though I haven't yet. (Maybe I can kill two
experiments with one stone and have them do the new Velvia 50 I just
picked up.)

I've used Dorian for almost 2 decades and recommend them to anyone
in the area. In fact, I dropped off a 4x5" negative for printing
there on Friday. However, unless I'm in the area, it takes about
10 negatives to make the drive worth the price difference.

For some reason, I've had decidedly mixed results dealing with
Newtonville in the past.
