Seezee, that's one of the best I've seen on x-ray. I'm going back to give it a try again.
What rating did you shoot it at?

Are you speaking of the OKIE-X project that I linked to? Those were shot with 2 lights and a reflector. I used the same settings listed for these 2 portraits. The key light is set to -5.2f & the background light is set to -4.2f. Pneumatic shutter only fires at ~1⁄25 second. I rate the film at about ISO 25 under the 5600K lights.

Glad to see you're going to try again!

Not yet.

Life keeps getting in the way of photography.

Right now my excuse is unbalanced vision from ongoing surgery.

Soon. I hope.

Speedy recovery to you.
