    If you use a sharp lens I believe it is. You have to decide.Test some it is cheap. Here is something to think about. If it is not sharp enough for you use it as a portrait film for some subtle added softness to a sharp lens.Works for me.

    Any suggestion for which Xray film to be developed by inspection and with ABC Pyro developer? I love the freedom of tray processing and DBI. I use Lodima.

    I DBI all of my work. The great thing with x-ray film is that you use a red safe light the whole time. I mean load and unload and develop. Mine never goes off during the whole process. I use Pyrocat-HD 1:1:100 for 6 minutes or so until I get the density I need for carbon printing. If you are using trays use a flat bottom tray for the developer or it will leave the narks from the ribs of the tray. Some people use glass to put their neg on I prefer a Cesco flat tray for all of my ULF work up to 14x17.

    Can you do more than one neg a time, shuffling like say 6 negatives?
