My first X-Ray film shot on 4x5.
Fuji Super HR-T 30 green medium speed X-Ray film. Purchased as 8x10 sheets and cut down to 4x5 using Fiskars 12" rotary paper cutter under 11 watt Kodak Junior red safelight bulb.
Calumet 45nx with a Fujinon-W 210 F5.6 lens in a Copal B shutter.
1/4 second @ F16 with the film rated at ISO 100(ish).
The statue is outside in our backyard next to a small waterfall and pond we have and it was drizzling at the time.
Developed with Mod54 in Paterson 3 reel tank using Rodinal 1:100 @ 20 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes. Tap water stop bath. Ilfor Rapid Fixer, Photo-Flo, hung up to dry.
Scanned with Epson V600 in two parts and merged back together in Photoshop CS5 using PhotoMerge function.
Final cost per 4x5 sheet... about 11 cents. Still lots of room for improvement. The experimenting rolls on...

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Old farmhouses are disappearing quickly in this area. This one was burned to make way for a new housing development. I suppose this is progress, but I would like to see more of the old homes saved as part of our history.
The photograph was also made to test my refurbished 7x11 Kodak camera with a new bellows. Since I had no 7x11 film I was testing Fuji green x-ray film. I did have a small light leak, so the shot is cropped a small amount.
Camera – Kodak View #2 7x11 with a Goerz Celor Lens
Film – Fuji x-ray green processed in HC-110

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
I have been having very good results using Stoëckler formula developer (aka 'divided' D-23). My mix is
Bath A: 7g of metol plus 100g of sodium sulfide per liter of solution,
Bath B: 10g borax per liter.
I mix it up in gallon jugs, so each portion * 4.
I dev under red safe lite as follows:
68F (20C)
Bath A: dev by inspection until the highs just barely appear -- that's right, just barely appear. Lots of agitation. it takes between 1.5 and 1.75 mins for the first sign of something happening.
Bath B: 4 minutes. Resist the temptation to agitate. Just let things catch up. Turning the film over is OK and probably a good thing, but not that often.
With this method, I get a neg that doesn't have to be stripped and still has manageable density.
These are scans -- Silver prints are next.

Another from today. Same developer -- divided Stoëckler. Film is Kodak Ektascan, which is one sided.
This time it was about 1.75 in bath A (the highs were just appearing, then 6 min in bath b.

Now that is a winner right there. Beautiful throughout. I think you may be onto something with that combination.
