Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images
I only bought from Iowa, ZZ Medical
They would search for single sided 14X17, I think all long gone
I have all the X-Ray I will ever use, including a case of 14X36" for a project
Many on this forum did not and do not LIKE X-Ray
However many do like it as it is most like 120 year old film!

Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images
Yes. I like the look of old film and the challenge of achieving the look using an uncommon medium infinitely more rewarding.
Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images
Some here like very expired film or plates
126 Years old works

When your fridge accidentally defreezes you will have a solid block. I prefer them individually packaged. Better against dust too.
Nice hanger, need one myself for the panoramic dental format. (15x30 cm and 5"x12" (=12,7 x 30,5 cm). I have no idea why they have to make two different sizes.)
Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images
I don't keep much film in fridge and none is frozen
My film will be useable far longer than I am
Carestream has recommended storage temp on the box. Basically the same as an America home
Like I have said many times
Freezing is crazy as the freezer will fail
I did get a tip that a Huge Chicago studio was selling everything
the freezer had failed, All the sealed film was OK. I took it all free, the frozen open was garbage
All was Fuji
I am still shooting the 45 Color Fuji as it has superior sealing as compared to Polaroid
10 years out of date
Calumet Giant film chiller was often on the blink

It's been a struggle dialing in Exposure Index for these films while trying to relearn all the forgotten basics of photography. I thought that I could do it using the same subject and adjusting the settings but the light kept changing before I could finish testing. Sometimes it seems like its one step forward two steps back. I am making progress. Anyhow., here are some early images.

This one's not a great exposure. I could get either the snow to turn out or the loader to turn out. Not both. Too much bright white and a dark piece of equipment.

This shot was lucky. I had one film left and shot this in the darkroom entirely under an UV-A light source. Just because.

Useable and ideal are different things.
Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images
Of course
Tell us how big is your freezer with picture
