So in the 3x4 format.. (is this medium or large format?) you can only get B&W from Freestyle, what about color?

Hmm.. in using the double negative, how does one know what you have shot. Both sides of the side are black. What other method do you use so as not to have double, or not shot negatives?

Peter,

150 years ago cameras were not common and sheet film as we know it now did not exist. Most photographers used cameras that were one of the standard plate sizes (whole plate, half plate, etc). Quarter plate is a size that was later known as 3 1/4 x 4 1/4. As you can see 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 came before roll film and before medium format as we know it in modern times. In my opinion, 3x4 is the smallest large format size especially in the Graflex world. When the Miniature Speed Graphic was introduced, 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 was considered a "miniature format" and in more recent time they are mostly used with 120 roll film.
