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

[Tin Can]

I don't remember reading in this thread anyone else using this video film.

I have been using Kodak CSG.

Tricky stuff, but when it works it really works well.

This portrait was taken with the regular 2x sided emulsion Xray film and developed with straight D76. Nothing fancy !
11x14 Giclee print, printed on Epson Hot press paper and toned to matched my Platinum print so I called Platinum Giclee print.
The 18 In Verito was used here , 2 stop down for exposure.
Hope you like it!

Tri, wonderful as usual. KIIS is the way to go! Just do it people and don't over think things! Get some film and go shoot and the rest will work its self out.

Single sided will be better, i am a bit rough with my film, scratches...



Randy, come on now! Slow down and be careful. You can see in the red light. Don't drag the film over the flap when you load and unload and just be careful. Save the money! I hope you don't scratch regular traditional film?

Thanks Gents, I'm glad that you liked it.
Jim, KIIS is the way to go. I wonder if people have ever noticed that 90% of my image posted here for all this time are Xray film using straight D76 as the developer.

[Tin Can]

Yes Jim!

And, you are correct the scratches come from the flap of the holder. Took me awhile to figure that out.

I don't scratch normal film.

My DIY 11X14 holder is very gentle, with it's acrylic slots and no flap. Studio only.

Jim, have you tried the high priced SS X-Ray? It even has a notch!

Mostly we notice your great images, but it is invaluable to know details.

Thanks for sharing!
