Plastic $14, not in 11x14, but 14x17 vert, so a hack could make it into 11x14, probly and "No holes punched in film"

Are you selling? Do you have illustrations? I sent you an email.

Here's my answer to Gene, perhaps others can use this info

Hi Gene
I spent hours a year or so ago surfing the web for info about using Xray film
Your posts have been most helpful
In all that info, I found suppliers of hangers - and some very weird sizes
So you can exhale :>) here are some urls- I didn't post them account I didn't know if they were really of interest
Stainless with a picture and pricing @ $41.80 each {hmm do one have to buy more than 1?]

plastic 14x17, small photo
this is the hack candidate

I chased down the manufacturer's site and saw the same photo- can't recall if the type of "poly" is stated anywhere, but if/when I get off my duff into 7x17 I will pop $14 and a hacksaw- if you don't first :>)
hope this helps you
regards, and thanks again- keep them coming

I saw some for 5x12 as well - looks like it is a dental x-ray size. They were also about $40.

Heres your daily X-ray film shot 8x10. Green foliage goes really dark on the blue sensitive film. "Old Shed"

Ahhhhh
Thank you
Seeya tomorrow

OK, so is anybody using the green sensitive film?
Bueller? Bueller? Clavey? Anybody?

This is green sensitive Kodak T/Mat x-ray. An 8x10 palladium print, sorry for the poor scan but it gives you an idea.

Another quick scan,
8x10 palladium
Kodak Tmat

Gene, is the shed actually white? That foliage did go really dark.

I'm getting ready to order another box and I was just going to get more blue sensitive. I can't find a sensitivity curve for the green and I just suspected that it probably looked like the blue curve, just shifted further to the right... but if that were true, I would have expected lighter foliage in Brian's 8x10... I guess I'll just stick with what I know.

Surely the green film with a green or yellow green filter would produce lighter foliage with more detail. Isn't the mammography film more or less panchromatic?
