Pinhole size was about 1mm. Focal length was about 500mm. Exposure time was 25 minutes. I didn't bother with reciprocity correction as I didn't feel like standing there for an hour. Still turned out well.

Thanks, I am not having luck with 1 mm pinhole, perhaps my duration is way too short

Today three 18x24cm Sinar Norma Lisco holders arrived from Germany. These will hold 18x24cm Kodak Mammography film, going into my 8x10 Sinar Norma
XRAY is a good way to learn large format handling and procedures.

Three additional original Sinar Norma era 18x24cm Lisco holders. They came from Germany good deal but no dark slides. Catlabs has replacements at what I thought was a fair price so now cleaning these up to use.
These will hold 18x24 Kodak single sided Mammography film. I have about 500 sheets in stock so set for a while. The 8x10 Norma grounglass is very accurately marked for use with these holders.

As you can see the 18x24cm Mammo XRAY stock fits perfectly in the Norma holder. This will make nice size contact prints. I envision split printing these negs. I got the idea for a contact printing light source that works with the big Multigrade filters. the idea came from Tim Layton and I followed his lead. These negs could benefit from being split-filtered to really nail the tonality.
