    Usually green, so sort of orthochromatic. It seems to be disappearing from the market currently. I have no experience with the particular film you mentioned.

    I have some 18x24mm Sinar Norma Holders I've never used and 400 sheets of the 18x24cm Kodak Mammography film. When I have time I will give it a good go. Also I can quarter these into 9x12cm's which feed my other European cameras

    Thanks CocaCola12! Often in this last year I have not felt much like photographing. I find building and restoring equipment great fun and very restorative for me personally. Now in this upcoming year I will be leaving off where I was thirty years ago and looking forward to it

    in x-ray film, Green or blue refers to the phosphors to which it responds the best. Most use green in cameras, bu tI have used both and find only a slight difference in exposure speed. Green also appears to be a little sharper.
    In an x-ray machine, the holders do not expose the film to light. They are sealed. Inside are phosphors which are activated by the x-rays, and thus expose the film.
    This is a very short and simplified explanation of the process and is not meant to be a complete answer..

    I process in Cesco flat 8x10 trays, XRAY clips keep the film from touching the bottom getting marks. Also the clips keep the sheets from bumping into each other, especially in the turbulent wash tray.

    This is the only way I have found I can get absolutely clean negatives without any scratches or abrasions. I want clean perfect negatives and this is what I have to do to get it with this stuff. If you look at it wrong it will scratch LOL ; I'm not kidding. Also I shoot dupes so success assured.
