Hello everyone. If you experience difficulties with buying xray film I think I could help you and ship it worldwide. There is a company in my city that suggests a big variety of medical film: AGFA, Carestream, Ektascan. I have bought Carestream MXBE 13x18cm from them for < $35. This is an example of picture taken on it.
That kind of help is always a good thing @alefrei! It may help others to know where you are located. If e.g. you are in the US and buyers want you to ship to Europe, duties and import taxes will have to be paid in addition to shipping costs. I just placed an order with ZZMedical for shipment to Europe and the final costs as delivered to my doorstep are ca. 65% higher than the combined price of the products I ordered. Note that ZZMedical also ships worldwide through a 3PL provider.
Well, I live in european part of Russia and I have sent several items abroad via ebay. I could mark the parcel as gift or reduce the declared value to avoid pricey import taxes. So if anyone is interested, feel free to PM me. I have some free time untill the end of summer.
That's definitely great Todd.here are a couple of tests I shot 8x10, (cropped to remove distracting elements) One is Tmax100 and one is X-ray.

If possible, please let me know extra info, X-ray film type, development and if there is any software manipulation.
Thanks.
The generosity of spirit in this forum is great, its warmly appreciated.

Anybody who has experience with double sided X-ray film,
Being with no anti-halation layer, is X-ray film better than the expensive Ortho films for masking? to print difficult negatives?
Regards.

Finally got my Intrepid 8x10 and have been testing some films. I was going to post some taken on Carestream EB/RA where I was quite pleased with the tonality and range at first try, but when I scanned and looked at the negatives at high magnification they are peppered with tiny black dots; not consistently over the surface. I omitted stop bath and used water stop with the last one but get the same. They have been developed in Pyro HD. Any ideas?
The shadow of dust on the film when it was exposed.
Usually during loading, or in the film holder.
If it's dust from loading in the film holder, that's a lot of dust.
I often wonder if X-ray film is not manufactured with the same critical standards as photography film. A couple years ago I had a batch that had tiny circular dots all over it.
I can only suggest trying a sheet from the middle and / or other end of the stack and see if you get the same defect.
Doesn't dust normally show up as white specks?
