I think the rule is the same one which applies to clamps for woodworking: you will have too many at exactly the point where you no longer have enough room to use them. The corollary to this is: the only reasonable solution to insufficient shop/studio space is to get more space....

Many (I think the majority) of these x-ray film shots look quite dark. Is it possible to do a high-key shot on x-ray film? Is the general darkness a function of the material, or a conscious choice by the photographer?
