  1. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Thanks.

    That's Ruby (part of my user name is based on her - Buddy, our deceased border collie, being the other part). In most circumstances she runs from cameras - especially when seen in my hand.
  2. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Best wishes to all for the year.

    Still coming to grips with my camera and film but what I would consider my first success (even if mundane :) ).
    Agfa Ortho HT-G (exp 2005) EI 80, Crown Graphic,...
  3. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    I've been using a Carl A3 rotary trimmer using magnets as a guide for cutting down paper & film. One magnet is at 4in in the top and another at 5in on the bottom. It's an idea I stumbled on recently...
  4. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    It looks as if my earlier issues are more the result of unsafe lighting than old film. In my new environment (Laundry) & safelight setup, I cut a sheet in total darkness, loaded one into my Patterson...
  5. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Thanks very much for your suggestions (and for sharing your safelight idea). My first inclination is that the film is old (there was one batch where the emulsion peeled off as soon as it got wet)....

    Some quick tests using my 4x5 pinhole.

    AGFA Curix Ortho exp 2005 @ EI 64 developed 7mins, Kalogen 1:100 using a MOD 54/Patterson tank.
    The films came out fogged but scanable though I'm unsure...
  8. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Thanks for that. Shipping is indeed expensive from overseas.

    The stock I have was given to me by a cousin of a friend who retired from radiology. By his own admission it had been "sitting around"...
  9. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    With apologies, I'm not sure what NOS is. The film however is analogue (along with my intended use). I haven't done any field test as yet but I'm thinking the Curix could be shot around EI 25 as a...
  10. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Now that life has somewhat returned to normal here I'll be able to go out for some test shoots. Before that I thought it best to dummy develop a sheet each of what I have to determine fog levels....
  11. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Greetings and thank you to all who have shared their knowledge & experience. As a 'newbie' to x-ray & large format the wisdom is a valuable starting point.

    I've was given a heap of old Agfa x-ray...

    Greetings and thanks for allowing me to be part of your group.
