Its thicker than camera film so some holders may be tight. It will need to be cut or trimmed for use on regular film holders as the sizes don't exactly match - 8x10 x-ray is a bit larger than 8x10 camera film. Theoretially one could use a safelight to cut and load it (it is orthochromatic) but in practice it fogs easily, so assume darkroom cutting would be needed. There are different grades and sensitivities also, so one would have to do a lot of tests to figure out the rules for exposure. One report is that the Green sensitive stuff seems to be about ISO 200 in daylight or ISO 25 in incandescent. And because of the double surface you cant develop it in a 35mm tank by rolling them with a rubber band for instance. they are very easily scratched when wet so have to be carefully handled. Some varieties are sensitive only on one side. they are sensitive on both sides so they may have less resolution (double image, where one image may be slightly defocused) Regular processing chemicals, processes etc. Some is blue sensitive, some is green sensitive It looks interesting.īut there is some information on the internet. These people have 100 sheets of Kodak Green film 8x10 for $39 - thats 400 4x5 films, or $0.10 per shot. You can order it from vendors of medical supplies, like these.
