by less - you mean more? Seeing as its overexposed. But i would suggest shooting few test strips with flash alone, b/c getting ratings by packard shutter is a bit .. dodgy.Quote:

I also plan to cut it down to 4x5 so I can be a bit more efficient with the testing in a modern lens and shutter combination. This was developed in HC-110 dil B for 6 minutes or so. I'm inspired by your work here Sergei.
Looks like is should of hurt! I bet you felt that one for some time. Seattle man....RdeQuote:

Now I want to know how all 3 of us have terrible eyesight despite both parents having perfect eyesight. We do look like our parents. I have photographic evidence for 3 generations...

With a new large Chicago park being built right outside my door, I may hang a shingle. The park will be above me on old railroad tracks like High Line in NYC and a main staircase to it will be 20 feet away. I could shot from inside, if it comes to that, which it will.
Gotta plan ahead!

How long you boys figure 14 by 17-or any X-ray film- is going to be around? I live in a pretty small town and even our local hospital has gone digital.
It seems fairly plentiful. How much do we need? I have almost 250 sheets of 3 sizes. At these prices, I could stock up easily.
It's not like 14x17 is shot and developed like 35mm.
It certainly is not us buying it all, there must be medical people buying it, that cannot afford to go digital.

It may get even cheaper as they try to dump it all, but then it will get expensive. I just can't see it lasting more than a few years in the US, though the cost of converting to digital will probably keep some countries from upgrading for some additional years Just idle speculation on my part though; we probably have some medical professionals here who have a better idea.
