Paul, you sound like me. I even have resorted to making sure that when I buy anything photographic on-line, that it arrives while my girlfriend is at work - and when she sees me using it at some future point in time and asks about it, I just tell her I have had it for years, just haven't used it in a while.Quote:

Then again, I do have some self control. I have a house and no squalor, and not nearly all the toys I'd like.
Agreed! No squalor here, just stuff, ala George Carlin.Quote:

Very well executed test that clearly shows the tendency towards harshness of xray film, although it looks like you've been very successful in taming it. Nicely done!
thanks, the most interesting aspect to me is the glass candle holder on the far left is red glass the jar behind has a green tint and of course the doll heads show the reds blocking up with the back lips and darkness of the cheeks. I have shot some images of my wife but they are not processed yet, as i am presently laid up by a slight bike accident. I hope to be able to process them and scan them next week.Quote:

For enlarging b&w negatives onto xray film which color sensitivity film would be best? I have a color head enlarger and a tungsten head enlarger. Color filters on the enlarger to match the film?
thank you folks
Robert
It may come down to other factors than color sensitivity, depending on your use. For instance, if for display, the Fuji HR (green) films have a strong blue background stain. Do I remember that Carestream is essentially colorless, or am I wrong about that? Also, different films have different contrasts, which would make a difference if you are making B&W transparencies.
