All of your pinhole shots you've been posting are wonderful!

Very nice. How were you able to develop the film without scratches and streaks? Tray with glass or hangers in tanks? Did you strip the emulsion from one side of the film or did you just leave it be? Questions....

I like all of these. They certainly are better than my attempts at doing it forty years ago. I used panoramic dental film. There may be a lot of x ray film around now that everything is digital.

I use hangers and tanks. I do not strip the emulsion, because I have never found the need. It is pinhole anyway!

Thank you! I really need to stock up before the film goes away. At about 35 cents a sheet, it is really affordable.

Dreamy!
I've never shot with an X-ray film before.
Does the negative behave the same way as normal film? Can you contact print it?

Yes, I would shoot mine with a box camera I made then I would develop it at the dental clinic (contact print the positive). I had to have a changing bag with me, but they came out well, but not as good as above. Later I tried putting small X-ray film in a 35mm camera. It worked, but it was too much work.

It is just like any other B&W film. You expose it to create a negative image. Then you need to print it to get a positive, or scan it into the computer like I did.
The big difference, is that there is an emulsion on both sides of the film, unlike normal film. Because of this, you have to be careful not to scratch the back of the film as you develop it. I use hangers and tanks as a result, and do not process it in trays. One additional thing, because the emulsion is on both sides, there is a slight drop in sharpness.
