Another tactic is to use X-ray film for making low cost film negatives.
Working under a red safelight makes developing film by inspection a breeze~

Contrast variables when using meniscus lenses opens another way of seeing...
Low cost X-ray film makes shooting many aperture and contrast variables a snap.

Just a "heads up"...

The unmounted lens (plus another lens via a PM order) has been sold.
Thus, the 125/2.1 lens+Birch 96x99mm "Linhof Size" lensboard offer is still valid~
