But it's all I can afford. The only lens I have to put on it is my 210 Symmar-S I bought new in 1980. Hope it will cover it, and hate it being wide angle on 8x10, but it's all I've got.
Anyway I'm apparently jumping on the X-Ray film and Pyrocat wagon. Green sensitive, but don't know what film to buy. I want those cheap 50-cent negatives. It looks like all the X-Ray film out there is emulsion coated on both sides. I don't suppose there's any way around that?
I've done enough due diligence to avoid forcing you folks to re-cover old ground, but at the same time would like to avoid going through the 2000 pages of this long thread. Anybody care to bring me up to sped on what film to buy for reasonable speed for scenic-style work? Thank you.
