Swing movements and focusing

Evan,

If you do't mind I would like to make this sentence my "signature-of-the-month",

Can you give me any tips on buying 5x7 X-ray film? ;-) I thought that stuff was thin and prone to damage.

The x-ray film I know is 0.2mm like most other film. You know how they clip those big x-rays onto the light box with one swift movement in the hospital? Wouldn’t work with thin film.

And the emulsion is much the same as other film, you just have to watch two sides.

Excuse me, but what does x-ray film necessarily have to do with swing movements and focusing?

Don't forget: VERY LITTLE tilt or swing will almost always do the job. It's easy to use 'way too much!

Thanks, Bill. I've discovered that very thing, much to my chagrin.
