Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

[koraks]

Thank you very much ! I’ll check the German source but keep looking for a US source.

Back when I wanted some Carestream mammo film I got it from Z&Z Medical. The Carestream stuff is gone, but I see they still stock Fuji and Agfa mammography film. Looks like the Fuji stuff is also sold in single boxes.

Do not buy Dry

and buy it now

I have been warning on this thread for several years USA is going full DIGI with Medical DRY X-Ray, useless for us

I suggest NOW buying on eBay

Stock up as I have

Looks like this is the only single-sided mammo film Z&Z currently retails: https://www.zzmedical.com/x-ray-prac...-ray-film.html
Should work for photography if you're into the xray look.

OUT OF STOCK and metric

Yes, some love the stuff

obviously you do not

My apologies, you're right.

And no, I don't love it. Yes, I've burned through several boxes of the stuff, most of it 8x10 cut down to 4x5 for various exposure and development tests, so I'm not just talking out of my @$$ either. My film doesn't have to be premium; Fomapan is plenty good enough for what I do on sheet film. I keep around a box of 8x10 carestream because I might want to use it for some graphic arts application some day. No way I'm wasting any more time loading it into actual film holders!

YMMV of course and everyone's entitled to their learning experience. I consumed mine, paid my dues and moved on.

Goals vary

Mine ARE different

I play on

Thanks - I should have stocked up a few years ago myself. I’ll check what is available on ebay.

I’m only at page 40 in the thread, but thought I’d say hi. I just got some Fuji green blue yesterday and I’m figuring it out. This one is with a yellow filter.

Are you using trays to process? If so, flat-bottomed are the best. I use them for double-sided green lat xray. No scratches.

Here's a box prolly expired I have 500 sheets, which seem to age okay. About 30 cents per sheet 100 sheets. I'm using D23 and Microdol-X. I have a bunch of 18x24cm holders which work well
