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

[schlicksbier]

With 559 pages in question I hope that you forgive me asking, but has anyone recommodations for Fuji UM-MA or Agfa HDR-C in HC110 or Rodinal?

I've noticed today with horror that the Fuji AD-M, which came great in HC110, is discontinued :-(. So I have to look for alternatives ...

All analogue, and not Laser X-ray film is easily processed in any 'normal' film developer, stop and fix.

It's real film

6-7 minutes in Rodinal 1:100 at 68F is almost always what I recommend starting with for any x-ray film.

ZZ medical says that Ektascan is gone. They recommend trying: https://www.zzmedical.com/analog-x-r...tomtabs_tabs_1

500 sheets of 18x24 cm =7x9.4" is $285 plus shipping.
500 sheets of 24x30 = 10x12" $427 plus shipping.

Although x-ray film seem to quite differ in ISO as far as I have read here ...

BTW: Kodak Min R 2000 Plus seems to work very well either: https://www.flickr.com/photos/macieklesniak/16193630057

They may differ in ISO (EI) but this doesn't mean that formula is not a good starting place for development. The common suggestion is to "test" because it is fairly cheap to do so.

Recently got a couple boxes of my preferred slow, green-sensitive film in 14x17...now just have to find/build a way to expose it .

I want give XRay films a good try and here is what I have so far.

XRay Films for 8x10 13x18 5x7 Sinar Normas by Nokton48, on Flickr

If the HRU works out well for me, I will load up on it. Is anybody using the blue Fuji, is it different in use from the green as in worth having both?

I know the MINR is one sided so I picked up 300 sheets at a good price. I do have 18x24cm Film Holders and that will make nice contact prints. Also I can quarter these into four 9x12cm sheets

I do have some holders loaded up. Just waiting for a strong subject to pop up when I have time.
