Great images! What dilution did you use?
Thankyou Rob and Alan, ASA80, the Sironar N 135mm was at its optimum aperture of f22, and I think the Kodak was at F16, can you pick which is which? Alan the dilution was about 1:125-ish. 375mm of water to about 3mm of R09. I was having trouble with the Mod 54 leaving streaks due to the dev washing over the film holders, but solved that by developing for one minute in one direction, then a minute in the opposite direction for the ten minutes.
Thank you for the info.
Thanks! I've been meaning to try R09 with blue x-ray as time permits.
A stupid newbie question:
Does using x-ray film necessarily mean having to deal with rounded corners?
I am waiting now for some Carestream 8x10 to arrive from Z&Z...
Thanks!
That's a good question! I've never shot anything but Fuji HR-T, which has rounded corners. I have never thought about it much. I am curious if some other films have "normal" straight corners.
I've been using Fuji HR-U green and CXC Ortho Green from Agfa (both from cxconline) - they both have rounded corners.
Doesn't bother me any more than notch codes do on trad film.
All I have seen are round corners. Buy larger and cut it down. I cut to all smaller sizes, even down to Hasselblad.
One advantage to RC is no sharp edges scratching other negs if shuffling.
Save scraps for fixer checking.
Yknow, I have only ever used xray film, haven't shot a sheet of real film since I started using large format. Cut up my own film from 8x10 to 4x5 and have never considered the round corners. I think they get lost in the holders track, dont see them during scanning.
