Finally.... Got in some dusk-room time ;)
Here's the results.
The first one is blue-sensitive (one side stripped). His blue jeans jumped right out. Wolly Velo -- 12 inch. Printed on Adorama paper with a #4 filter.
The others are green sensitive (also stripped). The leaves jump out... because they're green.:rolleyes: Printed on Slavich Bromportrait grade 2.
Leaves: Schneider Symmar 12"
Creepy: Verito 14"

Someone touched on this a few posts back. The sizes listed on the most commonly listed source's website are without the units of measurement. I'd like to try some x-ray film in my 20x24 camera. Can it be had in that size? I was planning on buying the listed 24x24 and cutting it down but then I saw the post saying that the listed film is in fact 24x24cm not inches. By comparing the prices and sheet counts between the different options they list, it looks like the 18x24 is also cm and not inches. It looks like the 14x17 is the largest sheet they carry. Can anyone confirm that the 14x17 is actually in inches?
I remember (at least I think I remember) a while back seeing a video of some guy shooting a 20x24 using x-ray film (I'll try and see if I can find it). That means that either he must have found a source for 20x24 X-ray film (maybe a zoo has something like this for x-raying elephants haha) or he was piecing it together from smaller sheets. Any insight? Any source for 20x24 size film?
This thread trails back several years and is ridiculously long but it has been very useful and is a testament to the power of collectively building knowledge over time and across geographic limitations. Bravo to you all.
I shoot 14x17 inch green x-ray film. I have not seen any 20x24 inch x-ray film. Does it exist????????
Man I like that last image George
They are not available for this size 20x24 Xray film nor custom order through CSX I already asked. They are listed but in CM metric system.There is ortho film ar 3 ISO that you can use.
No experience with this vendor yet, but I visited http://www.ksrxray.com/index.html and wrote to xrayman511@aol.com and asked:
I am looking for single-emulsion (single sided) 14x17 xray film. Is
that something you sell? I'd be using it for photography, and many
other photographers would like single sided film too if it's
available.
They wrote back:
The cost for 14x17 single emusion is $ 99.00. the price will be going up january 1st.
Might save the effort of stripping or dealing with scratches if it is indeed what he's stating. I might order a box.
