Dear Gyula Nemes, Never put film in your checked luggage because the Xray machines are much stronger for the hold. You can see those effects in the film Degradation 1 by James Schneider (there are stills on his website: http://blog.jamesjune.info/films.html). He put his film successively thro

Thank you so much for your answers, dear friends. It looks airport x-ray doesn't effect the material that much. The best price/quality option is still Kodak, and those frozen Fuji materials which I also use recently. All the best, 2017-12-18 21:31 GMT+01:00 Sean Weitzel : > And it's polyester. >
