Hi Tombo, there is color neg film for 5x4. I have several boxes of Fuji Pro160S, also Kodak Portra is available in 5x4. I am sure others will chip in with more, I dont use much neg so have maxed out with the films I know of!

Tombo,

Nominal "normal" lens for 5x4 is approx 160mm (usually 150).
Nominal "normal" lens for 135 film is about 43mm or so (usually 50).
So, multiply your 35mm lens FL with 3.7 and you have the equivalent 5x4 FL.
