Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
I'm in roughly the same ortho experience level as Jim Noel, and I never bracket either. I have, and use a Weston Master light meter, but I'm not a slave to it. When I shot every day, I rarely used it at all. You develop a feel for what the light is. When I go shooting for myself, I often don't expose more than one or two sheets of film per day. I develop them the same night (it is so EASY under that red safelight), so I know what is going on. There was a reason that cameras came with only one or two sheetfilm holders. I don't like roll film cameras for that reason - - I can usually find only two at the most pictures that I really want to take. Why tale pictures you don't want to take?

Ferrania wiil probably also make x-ray film in the near future.
Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
Dunno. Dries in about same amount as regular film for me, but then i do use drying cabinet with heat pumping fan ;) And of course drop of dishwashing liquid.

Dishwashing liquid is the same as a photo flo?
Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
I never tried it, but I have been meaning to, and Sergei always has solution.

Detergents, Photo flo and LFN are all surfactants so they all have the quality of causing water to sheet off surfaces.

yup. Picked it up from the book, tried - happy ever since.
Just watch out to use normal ones (Dawn is ok, its clear enough, recommended to wash stuff for babies), and not things heavily polluted with additives (Ajax & etc).
I just drop a bit into tank, for about 15 s of last rotary wash cycle, it doesn't make much of foam (about 500ml of water there at the time), and film is dry and scan/print ready in about 15-25 minutes. Makes huge difference for me, as i tend to leave film in cabinet for forever otherwise and it gathers dust.
