The Wray lens does not quite cover 8x10 but it is not bad.

Fuji HRT Green in Rodinal 1:200 10 minutes. The Wray 8 1/4" lens does not cover 8x10, but I kinda of like the effect.

Wonderfu portrait!
When you say Rodinal 1:200 do you mean that the basic Rodinal formula:

is diluted 1:200?

[SergeiR]

Thank you. Yes, when i say 1:100 it is basic R09 diluted as 1:100.. I honestly gave up on doing exact measurements , so i just do it by eye, pulling R09 into syringe - 2ml or so, markings are long gone ) and then dropping it into 270mm Jobo container

I seem to remember, but can't find now, people talking about what kind of darkroom light people use for xray film on this thread. I hear it's really sensitive and you need a very faint light... any recommendations?

Ektascan seemed to handle normal amber light just fine, even totally open Thomas' safelight.
