Fuji Super HR-T X-Ray film (green sensitive)?

[Andrew O'Neill]

In the end, I believe how you handle/treat the film depends on how you will print the negative (ie silver gelatin, or for alt processes... or even for enlarging). Everybody needs to follow their own path. One can only make suggestions.

I am just about to put this film into use.

I have Xtol developer (also Dektol) and Ilford Rapid fixer.

Any observations regarding development times? Film sensitivity (from what I've been reading, it's around ISO 80)?


Thanks in advance!

Hi group, As an X-Ray Tech. that has moved on in other medical aspects. In reading all your replies, the question has just came up. Where, and how would I go about getting my hands on some X-Ray film. Mainly Mammo film?
Thanks from a new member, R.W.Delung

An EI of 80 is a good place to start. What do you plan on doing with your negatives? Silver gelatin contact prints? Alternative printing? Scanning?

This brings up a point of interest to me! If I do bring out my 4x5. I was considering scanning only rather than using chem. for a print. Any thoughts out there? Thanks, R.W.Delung

Most x-ray films have emulsion coated on both sides. I'm not sure if yours does. If it does, I don't think it would print very sharp if you decide to enlarge it. You would have to strip the emulsion from one side (the side that was against your film holder) with ammonia. It's very easy to do. If you do strip it, you should give move development as stripping cuts the film's DR in half.

I just found out that Mamo film hasn't been in use since 2000. I gues thats why I can't seem to find it on the net. I was wondering, If I use x-ray film. Being double coated, can I use it with my scanner? Thanks, R.W.Delung

I just shot my first two sheets of this film on Tuesday night. Had a bit of an adventure developing it. Here's a quick blog post that details my failure and success if you are interested. I made a few mistakes for sure.

Everything I learned about shooting and developing it was learned here from that monster 57- page X-Ray film thread. So thank you!

Nice write-up. Honestly I like the x-ray shot a little better, I like the glow-y highlights on the ball.

RE: sharpness, I bet if you stripped one of the emulsions it would be as sharp as the Tri-X. The double emulsion hinders the sharpness. Something to try another day maybe.

Thanks, Bryan. I like the slight softness of the x-ray film as well. And am definitely going to strip off one of emulsions in a future test. I read about that here on the forum.

I found a single sided film. Does anyone know anything about it? http://www.zzmedical.com/8x10-in-kod...ideo-film.html I'm tempted to go for it, but I would like just a little more info. first. Thanks, R.W.Delung

I looked this up on Google, and found that this film just might work out OK with out removing any emultion as with regular X-Ray film. Check this
out. R.W.Delung
