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

[Tin Can]

Yes, just do it in total darkness, not under red light and develop as if it was exposed. The results will show if your film is good.

There are a lot of kinds in their website i don't know which to choose. I like the Green HRT by Fuji. There is a few boxes on Ebay. I will get one from her. CXS run out of the 8x10 already so i'm not sure if there are other kinds that are the same with Green HRT. I love the images made by Corran, Sergeir and others. I hope i could make something like that soon!

About the 4x5 sheet. I'll try to process it tonight. I'll just put it in the developer then fix it? I haven't done this before.

how about USPS priority mail? would it be xrayed? yikes!

I don't know about USPS (outgoing), but Canada Post xrays incoming mail from outsides its borders, especially from "certain" countries. I feel more comfortable using a courier... except UPS! Gougers!

By the way, Anyone tried the Kodak Xray Films from CXS?

I have used it. It's excellent.

The CXS web site is as confusing as Kodak packaging. I can't tell what I have and which one I ordered. I think I ordered Ortho Green. My is 7X17 Kodak Clinic Select Green CSG 18X43 cm REF 604 1974. Expires 2/2014

I have the green latitude. Some people are using HRT green and getting lovely results with it. I should scoop up a box of it before it's "out of stock". I get a bad feeling when I see "out of stock" messages, as the xray industry is moving more and more to digital (and why wouldn't they? Look at the savings and convenience). "out of stock" could very well mean, "discontinued".

I just bought the HRT off ebay. I know it will get sold soon. I can't buy another box since i just want to test if the xray film will get toast before it arrives here! I think it is worth the gamble haha. The cheapest 8x10 film is almost 3-4 times expensive than the xray film. I'll inform you guys about the film when it arrives! Hopefully next month!

Believe me, even in this country they are now using Digital Xray already hence i might have problem getting xray film here!

Will do Randy! As soon as it gets here. It will be sent to my friend first then my friend would send me the package. I had my 8x10 camera there already we are just waiting for the other stuff to arrive.
