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

Just start with 1:100 for 6 minutes, EI 80, 70 degrees and go from there.

It seems to be the favorite combo to achieve convenience, yet true continuous tone in 8x10 tray use. Thank you.

I used them for almost a decade, very reliable source

I don't think I will ever run out of my pile

I have already been in contact with ZZmedical, but they don't ship to Europe!...

eBay

as I wrote it is nearly extinct

but still cheap, the more out of date it gets

Agree very nice

Those could also be posted in LF Portraits as X-Ray IS REAL FILM

I want to build a stash of xray film before it goes extinct. Is easy to buy film locally; Carestream, I already bought the regular, cheap, MXG film and I want to buy more but I prefer, of course, a sigle sided film.

All mamo film available, Carestream Min-R S, Carestream Min-R 2000, Carestream Min-R EV are double sided according to the datasheets:

- MIN-R 2000 Plus Film is a medium speed, dual coated,
- MIN-R S Film is a medium speed, dual coated,
- MIN-R EV Film is a medium speed, dual coated

and yet I read on this topic that Min-R film is single coated. It is a different film ?

I don't know yet if the Fuji UM-MA is available locally but intend to find out.

I am also interested in knowing if there’s other single sided x-ray film still available — I don’t know the answer to your question, but I do know that UM-MA comes in 18x24 cm (and 24x30) which based on what I researched, will not fit an 8x10 holder, it will fall out. You would need a 18x24cm (7x9”) holder and a back that supports it. For these reasons I stopped considering UM-MA.

The only single sided X-ray film I’m aware of right now is (and it even has antihalation) is Agfa’s Radiomat Duplicating X-ray such as the one found here:

https://www.graylinemedical.com/prod...er-box-pcd1114

But its price competes with non X-ray film, so why bother.

(Care stream also has a comparable duplicating film:
https://www.carestream.cn/de/de/-/me...g-film-tds.pdf)

It’d be nice to hear if others are aware of other single sided options still available.
