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

[Tri Tran]

Tri, thanks. I knew that but I appreciate the information. I feel it is important to show the end result and say what it is so people get an idea of how this film looks when printed.

As you know everyone workflow is difference and the Xray has its own characteristic . Ages developer, film type , neg density, paper and process method are all come to play. I know it's quite challenging , all I can say is LESS posting , KEEP practicing

Daniel your using the same film as myself I notice your down to ISO12, is that to keep the density because your stripping the back layer?

Hi! (my English is not good! but I'll try to explain as best as possible)
I'm sorry. I posted the wrong movie, seeing the notes on the work, I used this image to the Kodak T-Mat G / RA.

When I did this picture had not used X-ray film. I worried about the high contrast that could have appeared in the images.
So I thought to expose a little more and create less.
The result was negative and smooth with moderate density.
I'm currently using MXG sensitive film and another just to have both blue and results in higher speeds, ISO 100 and revelation with ilford Multgrade 1:50.
This week I want to do some photos with the T-Mat G / RA at high speeds.
Thank you!

Thanks Daniel, I understand what your saying fine. I also have some T-MatGRA in 5in x12in which make nice pinhole panos when I use it.
Be interested in seeing how your MXG goes at ISO100

What great news you're understanding me!
I have a T-MatGRA 5x12, and I cut the plates in 5x7 and 4x5!
Try MGX iso 100 with development in Ilford Multgrade 1:50 in 22 º C.

Will do.

Will do.

Here a test to show the spectral sensitivities of each film:
