It was a beautiful day to be lugging an 8x10 camera around.
Kodak x-ray film developed in Rodinal, shot at 120. Very dense and hard to scan. It should make a good salt print.
Still trying to tame the contrast. I may have to try flashing the film first.

Thanks, playing with a new to me 1916 Bausch & Lomb 7" lens. Doesn't quite cover 8x10 at infinity. That's the crap in the upper right corner. But it should be great for 5x7 and half plate. Nice and sharp.

X-ray film? I like it, very interesting contrast.

Much, A Lot of contrast. I'm trying to find the right amount of over exposure to the right degree of under development to get a flatter negative and still have a dense negative for alt process.

I'd love to see the camera that took this. Never thought of using x-ray film for photo plates!

I used this camera today : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12143167/
X-Ray film is cheaper than 'real' film but it's finicky, at least for me. It's also orthochromatic, not red sensitive. It can be useful for some applications.-
Now I want one of those!

I'll sell you mine ;)
Actually you can still buy 8x10 cameras new.
