Fuji 8x10 HR-U X-Ray cut down to 4x5, Graphmatic Holder, 4x5 Sinar Norma 180mm f5.6 chrome Durst Componon lens, full key sun. This was exposure #6, two stops over ambient reading of grey card EI 50 TTL Sinarsix 1/15 @ Fll. Short development is stock Legacy Mic-X 5 minutes 68F. Cesco flat bottomed 8x10 tray, sheets developed singly. I did a sort of ring-around, varying exposure and development times. This is the lowest contrast version which I like. 8x10 Arista RC #2 Multigrade dev Omega DII with Omegalite circuline head Cool thing is this works out to about 7 cents per 4x5 sheet.
I've been using an rb67 with a grafmatic 23 back recently. really loving the glow this fuji x-ray film has. super fun developing by inspection too.

2 boxes of Fuji HR-U green 8x10 just arrived from Ebay (2026-07-31 expiration date) and I'm bleary-eyed reading about half of this thread.
I can feed this to multiple sheet film cameras; from 3.25 x 4.25, 9x12cm, 4x5, 5x7 and Whole Plate view cameras, so I have my work cut out for me.
Prices are going up a bit; $43 per 100, but that's still peanuts compared to even Arista Edu sheet film.
Hope to post some examples in a few weeks. Still figuring out my workflow and safe light situation.
Should be fun!
It is fun and works
Very Very Well
I got a box of Fuji that expired in 2001. Going to see how well it works this weekend.
I'll bet it'll be fine. I have a box of double-sided green from 2005. Kept it in a drawer. It's totally fine.Quote:
