Slight crop and tint- diagonal line artifacts are from the 4990 when the negs get too dark.

Very good portrait series, Michael
Developed some of my first test shots on XRay film today - CSX Green. Based on combing through this thread I shot most at 80 and some at 50. For development I used some popular developers and times I found here also. They were: (at 80) Rodinal 1:100 7:30; Rodinal 1:50 7:00; PMK 6:00 and (at 50) Rodinal 1:100 4:30. I started with a Jobo 3005 on a motor base. I only used 1 tube and 400ml of developer after a prewash. The first one (Rodinal 1:100 7:30) was fairly dense but the back side was under chemicaled in areas. For the second (Rodinal 1:50 7:00) I aligned the joint of the film to the outside edge of the tube and reversed the rotation half way through each step. This worked well, but was really dense. The third (PMK 6:00) wasn't too dense but again suffered from back side surfeit. In desperation I turned to an old enclosed rocking tray and tried Rodinal 1:100 at 7:00. This worked fine but was really really dense (and a pain to rock for that long). This tray used to be motorized but one of the gears gave up. Anyone have one they aren't using? For one last try this evening I used a negative exposed at 50 back in the Jobo with Rodinal 1:100 at 4:30 but increased the chemistry to 800ml to try to get more action on the back side. Again I reversed rotation half way through - yeah, I know Jobo says this isn't necessary but the first test had favored one edge of the back. This was evenly developed but again really dense. I'll contact them tomorrow and see how they will print.
I am from Romania, here (as I suppose all over Europe) the easily available sizes are only metric:
13x18, 18x24cm and so on.
My question is:
it will go in 18x24 holder without trimming ?
I know that 8x10 xray doesn't need trimming.
To buy an 18x24 holder is not easy or cheap. If the film need additional trimming I'll better search more for 8x10 film.
I managed to buy 3 holders from ebay Germany. After I have the holders and the film I'll post here if the film goes in the holder without trimming.
It seems that everybody has deserted the site, I am also a beginner, all I can say is that if you can avoid trimming, then do so. Xray film is very easily scratched.Quote:
