I have a box of 8x10 X-ray film, the type is: XOE green sensitive, x-ray RETINA
Can I develope this with rodinal r09? How long?
Can I develope this film in tank?
I usualy use tank for 8x10, but x-ray both side emulsion maybe problem...
Thank You!

When it comes to x-ray you'll really have to do a lot of your own testing, but 6 minutes is a good starting point, but ANYTHING can be developed with Rodinal...
You can strip one side of the emulsion with bleach if you have scratches.
Good luck with your testing!
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks, at the weekend I'll try it.

207 pages on actual information and images in this thread. There is another on in Film discussion. Read it, try it, play with it.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks, David. I'm being serious when I say that I feel like sloppily painting a few pieces of plywood and leaving them out in the elements all winter just so I'll have some new photo projects come next summer.
I have not yet tested the Ektascan for reciprocity but that's next on my list. The exposure time for the image above was around a half second (by hand) and there were no issues with the negative. I don't have a densitometer so my "testing" amounts to visual inspection and/or checking the pre-scan histogram. It's pretty easy to tell if I've lost my shadow detail just by looking at the negative on a light box. I'll be sure to report back any reciprocity data I manage to sort out.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks Jonathan,
I should just get some myself and do some testing, since it is so inexpensive per sheet. I will try that.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Finally getting the hang of this old grunge film. The rounded corners are all bubbly.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Kanga, If your lucky enough to have tanks, use them, it's the safest method to avoid scratches. Sergi is right all the information is in this thread.... good luck.
