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

Will you be wet printing or scanning? If wet printing, alt or gelatin silver?

I will be contact printing on the ordinary paper and Dektol manner.

First of all subforum called " image sharing ". Secondly it also doesnt contain an information on curves for scanning and on how to process Fuji HRT in MQ.. And its not end of the world.

You can always try and share with rest of people if you feel that information is missing. As processing by inspection is possible at 8x10 it will cost you less than buck to run through 3 sheets of xray. Then you willbe champion of all the people who like to use d76 and fuji xray ( and information is there, afaik)

I haven't used D76 for anything in years. A few of us use R09 aka Rodinal.

But it's all the same, X-Ray is just film and many developers will work. I suggest you conduct some tests starting with your normal D76 times for whatever other film you use.

I think 10 ML of R09 is cheap enough to use for 2 sheets, Sergei is the one I follow. If you go back he lists his results consistently with his experiments.

Soon I will try HC 110, just because I want to see how it does on roll film. I do not like R09 with roll film.

Thanks, I'm sure there will be more questions to follow. R.De. The Seattle Guy.

Having covered hundreds of km to that super spot this is one from my front yard.
Pine tree
Scan of print
green x-ray Fuji HDR
Kodak 2D 8x10 lens G-Claron 270mm f 45
Small issue light leak due to my clumsy efforts rotating the back on the 2D
The lighter of the two is the best
Attachment 100809Attachment 100810

btw, i just done two sheets in Pyrocat HD ;) looks interesting.

Btw, i use only 2ml of R09 per 2 sheets of 8x10 (makes 200ml). Seems to work just fine with rotary. So that + low cost of film - is really just plenty of experimentation. Same goes in fact for Pyro - i just did 1:1:100 that gave me usual 200ml and while sheets are drying up - negatives looks pretty darn interesting.
Curious side effect is that its yellow staining, and base of Kodak is blue, so you get duo-tone right away ;)

I have Pyro waiting. I'll get to it soon. I have a lot of experiments coming up.

Years I figure, but what else do I do in retirement. :)

Back to darkroom construction, plumbing is next and it will be a pain with the long drain runs. :(
