Andrew, it was actually Sergei's work that sold me on the idea of trying Xray film in the Jobo. I'd be lying if I said I knew why I didn't get a scratched and mottled mess of 8x10 sheets. I don't and I'm happy with that. I might try and figure it out when I have more time on my hands. If you have a Jobo, give it a shot.
Depends on if I can get an 11x14 holder.
Looking for a CHEAP 8x10 and 11x14. Starting there, and going up when I can find a lens that is for ULF and also isn't as much as my car... (And my car has 240,000 miles on it, and the company (saab) went out of business) so that tells you how much it's worth.... Right now it's just an experiment with a rudimentary "box camera"
The 8x10 hasn't arrived yet.
BTW... WHY is X-ray film so cheap? It had double emulsion, shouldn't it have twice the cost?
I suppose because not as much goes into it compared to panchro film... sensitizing dyes, anti-halation layer, and probably other layers for this and that.
ndg, I don't have a jobo as I like to keep things simple/primitive. There must be something unique about jobo drums, I guess.
On another note, I've been using both single and double-sided films, and I prefer the double-sided green stuff, as far as tones go, but not as sharp as single-sided. It's razor sharp.

This is a contact print from an X-Ray negative I made this month with the new Fuji 240mm Lens for my 8x10.

Wow love that contrast!
