The title says it all.
I have plenty of sources for blue, but no one seems to have green in stock.
Any help is appreciated.

Jim, unless you specifically looking for Fuji brand, you can get the Kodak one (500 sheets) through zzmedical.

This might be a tight fit: 5.11811 x 7.086614 inches

Unless you get a 13 x 18 cm film holder?

On a side note: does anyone know of a source for blue or green xray film (5x7/13x18) in Europe?

Jon is correct! 5x7 Xray film does not fit into all 5x7 holders.

I have a box of the Kodak, and it only fits into a few of my older (wooden) holders. It doesn't seem to fit into any of my newer (plastic) holders. I haven't tried it with any 13x18 holders.

What do you get for image quality using this film compared to normal B&W film - say Ilford FP4+ or Kodak TMax 100?

Different look (ortho instead of panchromatic for example) and cheaper prices, something that might appeal to ULF shooters.

Les, thanks for the copy'n'paste - I have to investigate. :)
