Years back when i was at uni, was rummiging through a dumpster...(yeah they threw out allot of cool stuff, im not a hobo) found a box of old agfa xray sheet film. about 25 sheets all sealed, but the stuff was old, probably from the 70s..
Today...i said to myself, i have a brownie...my darkroom is clean(it was a mess) im gona experiment. I cut up a few sheets of this film in the dark and fited them into the brownie, here is 1 of 3 shots that made it. i did a contact print a few minutes ago! awesome!
I present "my filthy kitchen.." its the next thing i need to clean!

Nice. I have batch of x-ray too. Works real nice

X-ray film is actually what the guys with big handmade cameras use. It's available in huge sizes so no cutting is necessary for them.
-
Considering most hospital XRay machines use digital imaging these days, i bet there is a huge cache of this stuff all around the world.

-Exposed the film for 3 minutes in my kitchen using the ceiling fluro for light
-Developed in ID-11 for 7min @20c + 3 drops of Defoger
