I've read every post in this topic from before & after the 'big merge,' & it seems that most prefer the green sensitive film. I'm curious why — price? extended spectral sensitivity? it was easiest to find/purchase? something else? I'm sticking with what I have, so don't interpret this as a plea to convince me otherwise — I just want to understand people's choices.
No reason for me, I just picked green and stuck with it.
There may be no difference for our purposes.
Test them both and report?
There is quite a difference in the look between Ektascan single-sided and CSX Green Lat. double-sided, in my opinion. Green Lat. is softer, and renders greens lighter, especially when a light green filter is used.
So do we no longer have a simply image sharing topic for specifically x-ray? That's unfortunate. It's true that both threads would get a bit of discussion and a bit of simple photo sharing. Hmm...does anyone think we need a specific "x-ray" thread in the Image Sharing subforum? I guess it's already quite granular.
I've never used anything but the green stuff. It seems to work fine. I went through some different developers over the years but I'm back at Rodinal 1:100, now in tray. I stopped stripping them because I'm lazy. Sometimes they get scratched. The single-sided stuff seems nice but I still like the cheap stuff.
Here's a couple shots from Thursday morning, both on Fuji HR-T. First with a 240mm Graphic Kowa and second with a Nikkor 120mm:

One x-ray thread makes it easier.

Great job Randy!
Randy that is just beautiful. Pali
Those pearls look a little odd!
This film exposed better than fresh Delta 100. It underexposed the face shadow side at ISO 100. All things same. almost...:(
I gave the X-Ray one more stop to ISO 50.
Imagon at work! great job, Randy !Quote:
