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

Not for mine.. where the slightest mm of movement causes it to be out of focus at f11.

Back to Symmar-S 300mm f5.6, seems to be my best lens and shutter.

Gotta remember to turn off the red light...

I love how Ilex shutters look. I have 3. Wish they were as practical as the copals.

Gorgeous sky! I need to get a yellow green filter!

Shot this over the weekend. First tray development, very happy with the results. Had to crop a lot in PS as my negative was quite off from 4x5 it was something like 3.3x4.2...very poor at cutting the x-ray film, but was fun. The far light was in the frame but there was no negative :)

I agree not that easy, thats why I am shooting with very small apertures and still having problems.

I gotta take another stab at shutter repair. I have a Betax that needs attention and may start there.

One trouble I am having with the big Ilex is my wind up timer Autoknips II has a hard time moving that long throw lever. I am thinking of string and pulleys.

Did some roll film yesterday, it is a pleasure to develop in cans.

Gotta get the big darkroom done...

Hi Lee, I've been following the pic's on this site for some time now. The use of a Yellow/Green filter has been mentioned more than once. I plan on using a 4x5 and a 8x10. Where can I get a filter of this type that
will work for both. ( a size for each I mean ) all the information that has been passed on from all the members has been extremely helpfull. Thanks, Randy DeLung I ( Hi there Randy,not to confuse anyone )

Great and would you please send that car to me collect!

Thank you For your comments. This is a 1965 Volkswagen that I bought a year ago, my children named her Monty. Needs restoration, which I am planning but it is quite hard, as I will have to import all the parts from Canada or the USA. You like Volkswagen?
