    What speed did you rate the HR-U at? I have a box I have been experimenting with but have not had results nearly as good as yours, but I have been developing it with Rodinol 1+25, not a home made Rodinol formula

    HR-U is around 50-80 EI generally and your Rodinal should be diluted to 1:100 for normal development - start around 6-7 minutes. At 1:25 I imagine your burning out your highlights/midtones pretty quick.

    Thanks. I shot a test sheet earlier today at 50 with exposure determined by a incident meter and developed 7 min in rodinol 1:100 (I don't know why I thought I had been using 1:25). Results were ok but not spectacular. Highlights were still a bit blown out and I cant seem to tame the contrast, but I think I will keep experimenting. Just wanted to make sure I was in the right range. Previously I had been shooting at 25 and getting mixed results.

    I’ve tamed contrast by reducing agitation.

    A good suggestion. How are you developing - tray? Or something else?

    I began to use Metolal instead of Rodinal, in a 1 + 50 dilution. It gives better sensitivity, judging by my tests.

    Now I’m using tanks and nitrogen burst, but previously tanks and raising and lowering the hangers.

    Did anyone buy any of the Foma Indux R4 NDT x-ray film?
    I am just wondering if anyone managed to lower it's contrast somewhat.

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

    Is X-ray film disappearing?
    I use FP4+ as well as X-ray in 5x12 and 8x10. Yesterday I tried to order more 5x12 x-ray only to find no listing for it. Today I will order a supply of 8x10 while it's still available. Apparently the warning of X-ray film slowly disappearing is coming true, especially in some sizes. I have a reasonable supply of FP4+ and will probably order more during the next special order.
    I will have to choose carefully between the films when photographing. There are times when the scale of X-ray, which is orthochromatic, better suits the image. I also have some Ilford Ortho,but it does not come in 5x12, and is far more expensive.
