Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

http://u1.ipernity.com/36/25/11/3004...152.640.jpg?r1

This is a contact print from an X-Ray negative I made this month with the new Fuji 240mm Lens for my 8x10.

8x10 Contact Print - Dektol 1+1 - Ilford MGIV FB Paper - Omega B66 enlarger

Wow love that contrast!

Yes that's a lovely picture, can't wait to be able to contact print :)

The only single side I have tried and liked is http://www.zzmedical.com/analog-x-ra...ideo-film.html

Some say it is a waste of money, I tray process all Kodak X-Ray 1/100 Rodinal 10 minutes easy agit.

But I defer to Sergei and he has posted plenty of tips on all aspects.

Thanks! I spent a good amount of time learning to contact print the x-ray, but the results speak for themselves. Randy is right about the film. follow his link. There are a million ways to dev x-ray I prefer dektol, dilution depends on how you rate the film. I expose at 50 and dev in 1+10 dektol for one minute.

Thanks! It IS expensive, especially for $80, how many sheets per box? I can't find the sheet count, but for $100 I can get a new ilford film (25 sheets) so if it's 50 or 100 sheets like other x-ray, sure it's worth it, but it's blue, so it's 400 speed?

Hmm, thanks, I'll consider it, appreciate the info.

Thanks.

100 sheets.

I use 80 iso strobes.

So, last question, reciprocity...

AGFA Curix Ultra UV-G Plus

Anyone have a good reciprocity rule for this film?

I'm sure it's been covered but this thread is... Quite long...

Going to try pinhole tomorrow if possible...

Thanks.

First photo from my diy 8x10 camera.
I don't have longer lens yet, so I stick with half of the negative which is almost 13x18cm. Still big enough to have a fun.
Green sensitive x-ray film, developed in caffenol.

Very nice, can you share your camera details? How you managed a DIY 8x10.
