Default more X-ray again

been shooting more X-ray film ,in my medium format cameras ,I get a 3x3inch negative from my fuji gx680 with the polaroid back ,and with my Rolleiflex its the standard 2 1/4inch neg .If you can buy cheap polaroid backs they can be used for other things like X-ray film cut film and fuji instax film .Here are some prints I made ,I used my DE Vere 504 Cathomag enlarger and printed on ilfobrom Galerie G2 FB paper 10x8 , I just let the X-ray film do what it wanted to, I did not try to make it look like ordinary film ,anyway here are some of them prints ......

I have to speak up for the roses - they're so well lit.

These threads are all a great series, Paul.

it has been great fun using industrial X-ray film its gives a different look to normal negative film ,there must be so many possibilities to make weird and wonderful images with it .It take about 10mins to dev+fix so when shooting indoors I can take a image go to my darkroom develope it and see where I am going with it ,and don't forget you can develope it under safe lights

this one was shot on my Rolleiflex 6003 professional camera fitted with a polaroid back that I use to hold the X-ray film ,But I have to have a darkroom or changing bag because the back will only hold one film at a time .

doing some printing last night and made a contact print from some x-ray film I've been shooting some teapots with ,it was shot on my fuji gx680 .
Its not came up to bad .I find its works better when photographing things as apposed to people .and with the polaroid back I can get 8x8 as apposed to 6x8 .... Click image for larger version

Here's a couple more I took on my fuji gx680 on X-ray film they are 10x8 prints on ilford FB paper I used my DE VERE 504 CATHOMAG ENLARGER no filters .I bought the two tea pots £1.00 each from the charity shop and when I am fed up with them I will take them back so they can sell them again .
