Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Hi !
Well this is my first x-ray result and first "for real" trial with 8x10 (had exposed and developed some sheets found already loaded in film holders I got) : Kodak 2D 8x10, Ektascan BRA, Fujinon SF 250mm at around f16, +- 1/8 sec IIRC; Blazinal 1:40 7 minutes in tray with no agitation except first 15 seconds and last 30 seconds. Weak stop. Scanned on V700 with still minimal technique. Extensive basic adjustments in LR.

And here is another one, same location
Ektascan BRA rated at 80, APO RONAR 300mm or maybe ILEX PARAGON 13", 2 seconds exposure at +- f64, same development and scanning parameters as above (not cropped though). Attachment 137764
Pierre (who hopes to be posting some more Ektascan pictures soon)

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
And a last one for now - same parameter range as the one above :Attachment 137765
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
They look good. Are you pleased? I love the xray film look, myself.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
I really like all three Pierre, well done!
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks Michael AND JMoore !
I am indeed pleased, and surprised to have been able to get the clouds out from the highlights. Got news from my subjects who received the contact prints today : They are pleased as well :-)
Very happy with this film which I am sure will satisfy my foreseable 8x10 needs (also got some green and blue Fuji that I will eventually try on 5x7 although that would no longer respond to an actual need : Happy with the 8x10 2D. Now, if ever someone has a Rittreck with 5x7 back to trade for a very nice Mamiya 645 kit... (will eventually post in the appropriate section)

Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
After using half speed blue and getting mediocre results I changed to Agfa green and the results improved. I read an article about stopping down to get the shadow detail from the zone 5 results the meter is calibrated for, back to zone 3..ish. This gave me really good results when using the negatives for albumen printing. Now to get constant results during printing I would like to be able to refer back to the density of the negative. I don't have a density meter, can I use one of the two colour analyzers I have picked up along the way to get a density reading???

I also got much better results when I ran out of Fuji HRT (green) and started using Agfa Green. It seems to like compensating development more than HRT, and also doesn't scratch as easily.
Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
I recently shot a sheet of Fuji blue and green, same subject, ISO, and development. The blue was much more contrasty, lacking even minimal shadow detail when compared to what the green recorded...but I have to try the Agfa. I just got a box of Kodak green I have yet to try.
