Here are the two spectral sensitivity graphs side-by-side.

Looks like Tim still has one box of 14x17 B/RA available. Item # 293175436749 on eBay.

Okay, so I have my hands on some UM-MA. Has anyone here worked with this film before? I'm going to start testing both dev and exposure, then will report back. To begin, I will develop it as I did EB/RA. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why that might be a bad idea? These films seem very, very, very roughly analogous.

Looks like a good one for photographic use. Wish they had it in 8x10.

Has anyone tried the Stearman SP-810 for x-ray film?

Something called M Plus - Half Blue. Shot at 100, dev HC-110 h for 6 minutes. 10 stop ND filter. Used reciprocity times for Delta 100 as an experiment, which has failed at night but worked great during the day for this test.

A local doctor was upgrading to digital and couldn't find anyone to dispose of the old stuff, so I loaded it all into my car. Dropped the chemicals off at the hazmat facility, kept the film. 150 sheets 10"x12", expired 2014. Cut down to 4x5 with a Dahle rolling trimmer.
