My point exactly. Which is why I press my point. If it's clear up front to someone what they're getting into, the chances that it's something they're actually looking for are higher. That's managing expectations, not discouragement! It's great that you knew what you were getting into. I bet most people who try xray film for the first time don't and expect something that's a cheaper but nearly equivalent alternative to regular film. If you love it for what it is, that's great. And indeed, I don't, but that doesn't mean the next person should feel the same way. Obviously!

Only recently has the X-Ray thread been attacked for not being perfect
Nobody ever used any film perfectly the first go
Soon X-Ray will be gone
Cool it please

Looks fabulous as a 40x50 inch print, I have no need to go larger than this...
What an accomplishment.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
PE-2 is an expert and chose X-Ray!
I have had some interchanges with him, last he was teaching LF in Korea where nobody was using LF
I sold and shipped him an 8X10 C1 in very good condition to Korea
Excellent example!
I think he used students as sitters

Sergei Rodionov another X-Ray PROFESSIONAL
I met he and his wife in times of trouble and good times
He helped me a lot on this forum get through my MANY LF mistakes, X-Ray saved me money
Look at his flicker, a lot is X-Ray

This is my favorite image from the first shoot I've done in 8x10. The film is Kodak Ektascan B/RA rated at 100 and processed on a Jobo in Rodinal 1:200 8' -the camera is a Toyo 810G and the lens is a Plaubel Anticomar 4.2/300 wide open.
Excellent!
