    Hi Bush,

    I did a reasonably painless test to determine the correct ISO for my RX-U

    I Took 8 exposures of the exact same thing, 2 sets of exposures at 50, 100, 200 & 400. Developed one set for 4 mins and the other set for 8mins. It helped me see the results of under/over exposure and development.

    Thats for a low/medium speed film, if you have normal or high speed you might start at 200 iso and go up to 1600

    Type I dont really care about, I think, or should I ? =)
    Thank you for trying to help out.
    All good, makes sense.

    If i get my hands on any in those sizes i will let you know, i shoot 4x5 so cutting down is something i will always have to do with xray film. Maybe when i upgrade to 8x10 i will loose my enthusiasm for the odd sizes.

    The reason the people you have contacted will not ship outside of the USA may be to do with their distribution rights, or a genuine lack of interest, if the former maybe a distributor exists to ship to your country already, if not there may be such a thing that gives you a USA address and forwards your freight too you for a fee, i have an nz based one called youshop.

    Taulen, have you tried contacting the Kodak/Fuji/Etc distributors for Norway and asking to speak to the medical sales reps? My contact is the normal photography rep, but he liaises with the medical rep for me. My boxes of film cost me a box of Heineken. Good times

    Actually no, I havent tried that. I could do that, but I'm pretty sure they will only be able to find the so called "european sizes" everyone else over here get their hands on, but its worth a shot. And thank you !

    Good luck!

    Cutting it down isn't so bad given you can do it under the safe light though.

    Re: X-ray Film example and comparison.

    ISO box speed is just an approximation where Ortho film is concerned, and I think all x-ray film is Ortho, either mild (blue) or more orthochromatic (green). So the color temperature of the light affects exposure. On a summer day, between 10.00 Am and 3.00pm, in the afternoon. probably 100 or 80. Shoot it between sunrise and when the sun is 15o above the horizon, and it could be 25 or even lower. Why? Red light. Ortho doesn't record red light hardly at all. I suggest you take 4 exposures, one at 100, and one at 50 in the middle of the day. then take 2 more, one at 12, and one at 25 at sundown. To develop, use a red safelight and develop until done. Be sure to print them. What looks too thin will sometimes print very well.

    I haven't had an opportunity to scan the negatives properly yet, I've used my iPad as a Lightbox for a Digital SLR snap which I invert in Lightroom.
