Thanks! Very intriguing. I’d try it out but unfortunately Min-r is only available in 18x24 and 24x30 cm … which don’t get along with standard 8x10 and 11x14 holders…

Yes indeed, is inch vs. metric but the holders are identical outside. I have 4x5 and 9x12; 5x7 and 13x18; 8x10 and 18x24. 18x24 holder was not easy to find, now there are some on ebay.de with a very high price. In Europe the xray film is only metric in all sizes, I have 13x18 and 18x24 Kodak MXG, still very cheap and available (10 EUR 13x18 and 19 EUR 18x24 + VAT) but I have the feeling that it will not last long and go extinct.
So I want to buy a box (5x100), keep it in the freezer, and forget about it. But if I spend all this money and space in the freezer I prefer to buy the better one, the sigle sided mamo. I have a box of Ektascan BR/A and now regret I didn't bought more because is gone. I don't buy real film, too expensive, for "real" film I prefer Instax.
I got word from the Fuji distributor, the film is still available, at least one more batch will arrive next month at the price of 50 USD +VAT/box with a minimum order of 5 boxes (a case). So, I'll buy a case and that's it (and some regular MXG 13x18)
Single-sided is more convenient, as far as methods of development go, but I prefer the look of the double-sided green by a long shot. It responds great to yellow and green filters.
What holders do you use? The ones we normally use in LF cameras or the ones used in radiography to put under/near the pacient?
Where can you get it at this price? Is there a distributor where I could order?Quote:

I would buy 500.Quote:

I have some T-Mat GR/A, but not tried until now. Curious what it can do. It is a dental film.
L.E.: Care esti, mai? :) Acuma vad ca esti din RO. Ma bucur.
Normal LF holders work fine. I tested 18x24 and 13x18 xray film that fit the holders without any cutting.
The distributor for Carestream is http://www.infomed-srl.ro/ and for Fuji is https://www.phm.ro/, i don't know if they ship outside Romania and if they sell only B2B
Da, sunt din RO, Bucuresti :)
Industrial X-Ray IS different
Just wasted a sheet, as I always do when testing
Well packaged, one white film per sealed pack. Thin lead lined paper, both sides, tear it open. The lead paper dents easily
I bet it is clear, but won't know until I process a sheet
99 sheets to go!
Film is 5X7 Plate size, which means it is exactly 5X7 and drops into a plate holder, but not a 5X7 Film holder
Shiny white one side, dull white the other, round corners, no notch

I bought a bunch of 9x12, 13x18, and 18x24 Norma Holders in Europe mainly Germany Yes they were 'spensive but worth it IMO. 18x24cm Kodak Mammo film I have 400+ sheets so good for a while.
The 18x24 all came from France I have a couple of emulsion numbers. I've heard it stores very well and I may well freeze all but a box of each.
Recently I placed a big order with PhotoImpex in Germany and they are pleasant and cool to deal with. Bought five different flavours of 13x18. They had everything but Delta 100 in stock.
