.we use D19
on another note I discovered taht Xray film is quite fast (1600ASA) when
used to record visible light, when I used it in my pin hole camera, but
that's another subject for another forum (No WJ, I can see you think, but
Xray film is not senstive for red and beyond, you can process the giant
(20*40 cm neg. by red darkroom light)..
