Film contrast, relative speed, and resolution of Fuji Super HR-G panor
amic film were determined according to specifications of the American
National Standards institute and compared with those of Kodak T-mat G
panoramic film. The films were simultaneously exposed by Kodak Lanex r
egular intensifying screens with time-scale sensitometry. Optical dens
ity was read with a digital densitometer, and characteristic curves we
re plotted and analyzed by polynomial and linear regression. The avera
ge gradients of the linear regression curves between 0.25 and 2.00 opt
ical density units above base plus fog were taken as contrast (HR-G: 1
.831, T-mat G: 1.712). Relative speed, when exposed with Lanex regular
intensifying screens and calculated at 1.00 optical density unit abov
e base plus fog, was 412 for HR-G. A speed of 400 was chosen for T-mat
C to match Kodak consumer information. Resolution for both films was
similar. These findings suggest that Fuji Super HR-G panoramic film de
velops similar contrast, speed, and resolution to Kodak T-mat G panora
mic film.
