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

[SergeiR]

I find many people who are using X-ray film, are not compensating for reciprocity effect.

i dont. I also dont do premature aborting of development..

Not doing hawk watching over going minute or two longer in development if someone calls me while i am doing things either.. (except for colour processing.. got to do it there, but not with b&w). But what do i know.

Getting out of IR work I think, the B+W filter I have I would like to get rid of, but in the mean time running through my stash.

Tonight I've tried to develop x-ray negative in caffenol without agitation. Just some initial moving of tray on the begining and and the very end of the process.
Looks fine and I don't have to stay in the bathroom for 15min Well, to be sure I could go once or twice and move the tray a bit. Just in case.

Yes. That worked. Specifics?

It worked with little bit exhausted developer but another try with fresh one caused heavy mottling so it's better to agitate.

Gah!!!!

Sorry, I don't know how I did that, I must have been reading the IR thread and not thinking.... It's definitely IR... DOH!

Mods feel free to remove it... I can't edit now... :/

Lets see... it's 11:20pm here in Vancouver... aren't you in the am there? Are you a night owl, Stone?

Stone stays up later than I do and he's an hour later, EDT vs CDT.

30 years of night shift, is a hard habit to break, for me.
