Re: x-ray film

["wpettit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <wpettit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I recall correctly from the late 1970s, x-ray films were designed to be responsive to a florescent screen built into the carrier.  The silver content was quite high, so I have to wonder about $35/100 sheets.  In the 1970s. a 0.5 second x-ray exposure was not uncommon.  That would suggest a very low ASA.  Given the low cost, it would be fun to do a series of strip tests.  A developer such as D-19 or diluted Kodalith A B would work. 

Good luck,

Bill Pettit

Randy,

I have never used x-ray film so can’t definitively say but I’d think it could be used in a camera.
Filters … for what? I don’t think you’d need filters.

X-ay films if I recall are coated on both sides of the support.
