I will let you know how the hand carry film turns out. It is possible that could be from a light leak because the film was in the camera for a couple of weeks although I never noticed light leaks in that camera. The first shot came out completely white but the others were ok. There was too much other stuff in my hand carry bags so I sent the camera in my checked bag. The film was still wrapped in the foil packs so hopefully it will not be fogged. The HLS was not thrilled about hand checking so it went through the machine. Carried two packs of 3000B in my carry on. Interesting time for this thread, I just flew to CA yesterday. "Yester-tech" Man edited this topic 114 months ago. This was the bag of film I had on my trip. Every security stop I made had a different attitude and policy when I confronted them with the big bag of Polaroids, so try to think of every possibility and protect your film. However, I would still find some shielded bags and tell the security officer what you have as you go through in case they have issues with the fact that they can't scan them (they may attempt to make you remove the packs from the bags and individually scan each box, which would really fry it). If you make a couple calls to the security office at the airports you'll be passing through, you may be able to avoid issues. I went on a cruise this past January and had to jump through quite a few hoops to avoid getting my film cooked, but it worked out. Individual lead-lined film bags for each pack, or you could try to request a manual search- those would be your only options. The X-rays at the airport will likely fog that high speed film. but do they still use X-rays at airports? Originally posted at 11:19AM, 10 June 2013 PDTĪlexxxCorona edited this topic 114 months ago. What about instant pack film, it is safe? I'm going to be taking a trip to Mexico soon and taking about 10 packs of FP-3000B, I will have to go through the xray at the airport, I know 35mm negative film has issues when using 1600-3200.
