EoinC Posted March 25, 2016 Share #44 Posted March 25, 2016 ...it is, indeed, a holy moment of expectation. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight, wondering if tomorrow may be the Day of 800. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
@McLeica Posted March 25, 2016 Share #45 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I have been using a Domke lead lined bag and was surprised to see the film inside the bag evident on the screen when it was recently scanned at Manchester Airport. It was more of a 'shadow' rather than a detailed image, but clearly some of the x-ray appeared to be getting through the lead. I just got one of these for my trip to China. I travel light (2 weeks, 2 bags, all carry on) and forgot the bloody thing was lead lined. I'm taking Cinestill 50 and 800 as well. For a weight weenie like me this thing weighs a ton.

MarkP Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share #46 Posted March 25, 2016 Sorry, forgot to revisit this thread. I know you've all been in urinary retention with excitement and anticipation. The ISO 800 negatives are fine, maybe the photos could be better. Unused Telstra Building, Canberra M7, CInestill 800, 2.0/28 Summicron Welcome, dear visitor!

Chris Posted July 3, 2017 Share #48 Posted July 3, 2017 I just checked in a bag last minute and forgot I had all my unprocessed film in it. 5 rolls of Ektar 100, 2 of Portra 160 and a few b/w rolls. One of the worst feelings right now. Please wish me luck, that Acores scanners aren't too harsh. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted July 7, 2017 Share #49 Posted July 7, 2017 I have traveled a few weeks ago to Germany (roundtrip USA-Germany) and used an old but still nearly mint lead bag to wrap my unexposed and later exposed FP4+ 125 and one XP2 400 films in it. The bag was not an issue anywhere when I had my carry-on luggage with my camera bag scanned at the safety check-in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
