When loading cut down 4x5, I put the rounded corner where the notches would normally go. For 8x10 I use scissors to cut one rounded corner flat and use that like notches.

This is a test shot (my Shorty Norma) French Kodak 18x24cm Mammo Film, processed in D23 1:1. Taking camera is my new Annie/Avedon inspired 8x10 Norma. I applied 30 degrees of front and rear swing, the Norma original recessed lensboard is sharp all the way across the field. I like how the DOF drops off with the 360mm f5.6 Norma Symmar. There appears to be highlight blooming, which I find kind of attractive. Best thing about this film was that it was not at all expensive. And I have a lot of it

Only one suggestion =
Get A Frame = Hang it. ;-)
Thanks James R. Kyle :) The Norma Handy is indeed Uber Handy. I still have eclipse peacock 4x5 HP5+ to develop. I used my StarD l light weight Tiltall type tripod which is very portable and not too much to carry around. Does work good with HRU and the Handy.

(So IF you have the raw chemicals, you might give this a try):
-------------
Here is the Ansco-30-JK reformulated “Tank Developer Solution”.
Water - at 120 Degrees F. -------------------750ml.
Metol --------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 Grams.
Sodium Sulfite ------------------------------------------- 70.0 G.
Hydroquinone ---------------------------------------------- 4.0 G.
Sodium Carbonate -------------------------------------- 20.0 G.
Potassium Bromide --------------------------------------- 5.5 G.
Cold water to make a Full 1 liter of Solution. (STOCK solution.)
For a working solution --
Take One Part of this Stock to 24 Parts of Water. That is a 1:25 Ratio. (i.e.= 1 Oz. stock to 24 Oz. Water)
The times will vary with the temperature of the working solution, anywhere from four to seven minutes.
(20 Degrees C. = 6 minutes)
----------
If I can choose, should I buy the X-ray film with more contrast and density or with less?
I can buy Carestream-R EV or Carestream-R 2000 plus.
From the technical data sheets:
EV has: sensivity 150, contrast 4,5 or 4,7 (depending of the X-ray developing machine used), D-max >4.5
2000 plus: sensivity 150, contrast 3,9 or 4,1, D-max 4.0

Attachment 251150
X-Ray film is very
Needed
For Industrial uses
nothing can replacement it
Very expensive
Japan is selling lots of INSTAX
It is real film also
With less.Quote:
