How did you get the nice vignette? Was it just the lens or purposefully done? Or in the print process?

Its pretty much how light was there, and very light burning on the right edge. Combination of overcast, slightly burnt out grass and quite dense foliage around doing rest.

Hello! There seems to be 3 types of Ektascan film; Green, Full Speed Blue and Half Speed Blue. Do you know the difference between these?
I found a distributor here in Mexico but I don't know which one should I buy.

I don't know about the "color" varieties--blue/green/full speed--but here is a scan of the box and label from the 8x10 x-ray film that I just bought. All I can say for sure is this version is a single-sided emulsion on a blue-tinted base with an anti-halation layer and a shooting speed somewhere around EI50 - EI100.

Yes, I will be developing it by inspection but I like to home in on EI and development prior to making images which I hope will be more important.
My darkroom is rather fully equipped with several types and colors of safelights so I have no concerns there. There are at least three red ones which have been totally satisfactory with Ilford Ortho as well as some very ancient Tri-X Ortho.
I sent you a PM to which I hope you respond positively.

And neither have I. Kodak has many different X-ray films, which vary in color rendition, but Ektascan is the most orthochromatic of all of Kodak's X-ray films. In fact it is the most orthochromatic film they have, period. :)
