At least that is how I interpret the film data. The bottom also has an anti halation layer, so you probably could not expose backward.... In any case, how does the exposure look on the back side? I would guess it's mainly clear on the negative?
I haven't gotten it together to use it myself.... Hence the ???
MIN-R is double-coated on the same side of the sheet. Kodak has double coated a number of films the same way. The film is notched, just like normal pictorial film, so it loads the same way. It acts a lot like ortho litho film, very slow with a steep characteristic curve. I've been busy making prints for a client and shooting new work, so I haven't had time to start playing with low-contrast developers. Everything boils down to shooting at the correct EI (currently 3 for me with Fuji AD-M) and using a dilute or low activity developer that works evenly on the negative in a useable time.

reply from you as to weather it works, or not? I'm still gathering info. before I open my new box of film. Thanks, Seattle man...Rde
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Sergei told us he scans with V700, 8 pennies and tapes film under AN glass.
I have not tried that yet.
I scan with AN glass and simply lay film on top of it.
I made a few contact prints and they are very similar to this scan.
Their shirts have discernable detail in the contact prints.
It is a look I will be using for a series.
I contact printed it front and backwards, and I think I see a very slight focus difference.

Well reproduced skin tones, Randy.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks!
No lens filters or PS filters. I did push the curve, and spot.
My contact prints are very similar, once again with no filter adjustment. Just dust...

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Very nice, simple and clean. What do you mean by 'unspoiled'?

Barry,
Here's a scan from the Min-R EV Film data brochure. The two emulsions seems to be on either side of the film substrate. One emulsion is the main and is up when notch is in regular corner as you mentioned.
So no problems with scratching using this film?
I wonder why it is so slow compared to others.....?
