Thank you for the refresher! I read that if you place the film in lead bags, the security will up the X-ray intensity to see what’s in it. Your tip of placing the films in transparent zip lock bags would be the best. And you said it right, make it easy for the security. 😅

I am deadass going to the airport in 2 hours :Ddd thanks for the video!

Best regards!

I used a Leadbag and only brought low ISO film like Pro-Image 100/Gold 200 and Fomapan100, the scanners had 0 effect from what i could see atleast, Flew from Amsterdam to Sweden so it went through a CT i think!

I just recently went to Barcelona and had some film rolls with me.
I had no luck asking for hand checks sadly so I'm very excited to see how the pictures will come out.
The good thing is both airports I went through had the old x-ray scanners 😅

Didn't Lina say that the "Domke 711-12B Filmguard Bag" does not help when the film is send through a CT scanner?

[lucafilms]

At what point would you use the Domke lead bag? I have the same. Let‘s play the scenario: you go to the security guy and ask for hand check. He says no. So you pack the film into your lead bag and let it go trough the scanner? The lead bag will turn out as black on the scanner‘s screen. Which results in a) he increases the strength of radiation or b) hand checks it (and probably hates you).
Or how do you do it?

Just buy your film on your destination country and have it processed there! No problem in Europe!😊

[jakavozlic]

Travel without film or with only 1 roll and buy more on location. If ypu are visiting a developed country they are gonna have a camera stores and photo studios that sell film. They allways have gold, ultramax and maybe some fomapan but for other films it realy depends

Omg I'm traveling to Japan in a November and I have some instax film for the fujifilm mini evo and was going crazy trying to figure out how to travel with the film and not run the risk of damage. I know I can get more in Japan but I wanted to bring my own.

Good video. Thanks. By the way what aspect ratio is it? 4x3?

[NickCheng]

If the xrays can't penetrate the lead bag, won't they not be able to see what's inside on the machines and want you to take everything out of it?

[AdamBuker]

When I last flew, I asked my film to be hand checked. Then they ran it through the X-ray machine anyway and flagged me for additional screening. Most of my shots were ruined. I haven't flown since.

[lottic]

I don't understand; wouldnt security either turn the power up on the xray machine to view through the lead lined bag; or take the film out of the bag anyway?

[SennTimmer]

I needed this video 2 days ago when I was flying.. Sadly they made me put my film through the scanner, no matter what I said or how kindly I asked them they refused to. They also said the scanner wouldn't damage the film under 1600 wouldn't be damaged but I don't believe that personally. My leader of Cinestill 800T was badly damaged, but we will see. Hopefully it's not too bad🙃 Sadly I can't attach the image of my Cinestill 800T here for everybody to see.

[jethrojacinto]

Anything 4:3 aspect ratio just does something to me 😩
