Re: Images shot on X-ray film
I've been giving my new 5x7 daylight tank a whirl lately, and it seems to be performing pretty OK. Much more consistent and scratch free than print drums or trays.

Great image, many are shooting only X-Ray these days.
And all I see are great results like this!

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Experiment with yellow filtration - Fuji HRT at ISO 100 Yellow #2 filter. Trying to tame contrast a bit.

Thanks Scott. That old chair has found its way into a few of my close-to-home shots

Wow this tulip shot is amazing! It does have an old 30s-40s look to it!

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Does a good x-ray negative look like a good pictorial film x-ray or should it look denser because of the two emulsions?

What is a "pictorial film x-ray"?

A typo. Should be just "pictorial" film. You know, regular film intended for standard analog B&W printing processes.

It's essentially Orthochromatic instead of Panchromatic, so it will look a little "old timey" like the pre 1940's films that were all orthochromatic.
There's an X-ray "examples" thread, read it, the first few pages should give you most of the details you need.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Hello all, great work displayed in this thread. Have been meaning to shoot some xray myself, but it's a little hard to come by. I'm in Europe at the moment and csx will not ship here. Does anyone know of a good source for xray film (preferable green) in the EU? Thanks!

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
I'm talking about density not spectral sensitivity. I've read both threads from start to finish though that doesn't mean I remember everything

Density lies in your choices of exposure and development technique, that's completely up to you and your methods as far as I perceive it. Best of luck to you in your X-Ray adventures.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks Stone, but that much is fairly obvious. Anyone else care to comment on how they judge their x-ray negatives?

I aim for specific DR's for carbon printing. A densitometre is handy. Side-by-side comparisons, they look very similar. A double-sided emulsion still looks the same as single-sided film, as long as their DR's are the same.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Sorry, I'm not a sensitometry guy. Don't you strip your negatives though? Which version "looks similar" to conventional film, the stripped or unstripped version?

I don't strip my negatives. Looking through them they look similar to non-x-ray negatives. If stripped, half the density is removed thus they do not meet my needs for salt prints.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Anybody who works with film, is a sensitometry guy to some degree, even if they don't own a densitometre. I'm talking about unstripped negatives. Yes, I have done some testing and the film prints best with both emulsions, therefore I do not strip.

Don't know how it would be in Spain, but Ebay gets it to the UK from Tennessee in less than 12 days (according to the tracking 4 of which were while it was in the hands of the courier) with the Global Shipping so you pay the Customs in advance.

There is some MXR 11X14 G Plus on fee bay at the moment, the 11x14 seems a bit harder to get these days, anyone tried this particular film???

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Been reading 'some' of the discussion, perhaps it has been discussed, perhaps not...
The closest to 8x10 i can get is 18x24cm x-ray sheets. Would these fit in an 8x10 holder? It would appear to be a little short. Perhaps there is an exact fit for 8x10 holder?
Thanks.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
8x10 film is available, and fits an 8x10 holder perfectly.

124G what country are you in, and have you checked eBay? Sometimes you can get x-ray film there in 8x10. Good luck!

Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.
Quick question, there doesn't seem to be an exact size for 8x10 holders, is there an approximate size that would fit without cutting the film? Thanks.

You must have missed my reply in the other thread.
The film size you want is 8x10, there are MANY X-Ray films that are cut to 8x10 size.
The other sizes available are NOT for 8x10, there is some labeled 20cm x 25cm that's also the same and will fit in 8x10 film holders.
Hope that helps, look on eBay, there's TONS of it.

I get my green or blue xray off fee bay, try chimedsupply (Chicago medical supplies), the have green and blue 8x10, 10x12. They will combine postage, I bought three boxes of 10x12 which will fit into one post pack and saved myself $60 on postage to Australia. Goodluck

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Hi Thanks guys
I live in the UK, so perhaps shipping might be expensive, plus i would have to pay customs duty as well but I must admit $80 US for 100 sheet, wow, this is value!
I contacted these people http://www.photon-imaging.com/, very helpful but they charge 80 sterling + VAT (20%) so that's a bit more but shipping would be less obviously. Only problem is the nearest they have to 8x10 is 18x24cm. I've just order 2 8x10 holders so I'll be checking if that would fit but I have a bad feeling.
So ideally I'd love to find a supplier in the UK that advertises 8x10 as a size. Thanks asx 810 for the offer, I might give you a shout if I can't find anything locally.
Knock knock, anyone in the UK who might be aware of a supplier of 8x10 xray films?
Thanks guys.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
I'm in the Netherlands and have good experiences ordering stuff from eBay, including 8x10" xray film. Yes, shipping and customs do eat into the great value a bit, but it's still a very cost effective method. I wouldn't limit myself to domestic sources (which end up being more expensive and less varied overall) and just do what everyone does. A million flies can't all be wrong!

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
In case someone is interested this is the quote I got from http://www.photon-imaging.com/
18x24cm HDC-UVB High resolution BLUE sensitive X-ray Film (100 sheets in a box) £60.59 + VAT
18x24cm HDC-G High resolution GREEN sensitive X-ray Film (100 sheets in a box) £60.59 + VAT
18x24cm HDRC Ultra high resolution single emulsion film (100 sheets in a box) £80.59 + VAT
I don't know what brand they are, my local vet gave me their details and he gave me a box with a dozen x-ray (larger ones 24x30) - The box is unbranded.

I went the eBay route - the seller based in Tennessee Agfa G+ don't think it was quite that much but worthwhile experimenting, may get another box and perhaps some of the Fuji stuff too. . .

Here's an 11"x14" shot of the great Jerry Spagnoli at work during our road trip in 2013. Shot on Agfa green sensitive film.
Nice and dense for a salt print.
