I have just started with this film but so far i really like it, it will need some more testing on my part in different scenarios, i will try less development time and maybe a higher dillution as well, but i feel i am getting pretty close...and thank you Andrew for the comment...Mark i tried Pyrocat HD and FP4 for Palladium printing but my UV exposure times were too long so i gave up on it for now but will certainly retry it in the near future.

You're the second person to mention visiting Cyprus.
It's a lovely place. Lots of sunshine and blue skies.
But if you do visit, remember that it's a small place.
It's got pretty much everything, from snowy mountains (in the winter/early spring) to deserts and canyons and cliffs and every kind of beach you can imagine. And of course historic sites. But.
Everything here is to scale. There's more subtle beauty, than jaw dropping.
I've never been to the US but I can imagine that standing on top of Half Dome late in the afternoon must be a religious experience.
So, if you're a landscape photographer, keep that in mind so you don't get disappointed.
And if you do visit, let me know.

If you think the size of the U.S. is a religious experience for landscape photography, then you should visit Canada.....!!!

Dan, it's on my list...
First light (as they say in astronomy) for my new/old 5x7" Rittreck View camera which I converted to 18x24cm.
There is nothing like moving up a format size (or two) to get a new perspective over bulk and weight.
Apo Gerogon 300mm
Agfa x-ray film (CP G+) at 100asa.
Tray developed by inspection in Ilford MG 1+100 at 22C for 7.5min.
Scan from negative, finished in PS.

Yes, how many times does the US fit into Canada? ;)
Nicely done, Thodoris.

Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
Does anyone know if it is possible to intensify x ray negatives?
Thanks

Do you mean increase contrast? Exposure? Are your negatives too thin? Too dark? Too light? Can you post an example so we can see what you're trying to accomplish?
Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
I have no experience with this, but since they're basically just silver negatives, they should intensify just like regular negatives.
