Do not put film into checked luggage. There were warning signs about this at San Francisco, San Jose, Heathrow, Luton, Douglas and Nashville airports on my last two trips. It is best to carry film in clear plastic sacks, optionally in an "XRay Proof bag" as well, and ask (beg) for hand inspe

If you check film, it's dead. Not just fogged--big exposed stripes from the scanning Xray. Make room in your carry-on! Rick --- Norm Baugher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm taking a vacation to Italy next week. I'm taking > a lot of film > (before it dies completely) and am actually checking

I'm taking a vacation to Italy next week. I'm taking a lot of film (before it dies completely) and am actually checking baggage which I really haven't done in the past. Do the baggage x-ray machines really fog film? Film is medium format Plus-X. Norm -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.
