Jewl Posted October 9, 2023 Share #61  Posted October 9, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I also realized 2 weeks ago that it is really helpful to decide in advance for a simple setup to work with. I took both, the M11 and MP to London and ended up shooting mostly film. But still, I was always struggling should I now use the M11 or rather stick to the MP? In the end, I could have lived way more calm during these days If I had decided just before 😉 And I also hate to carry too much stuff with me all the day! I actually prefer just the camera with one lens around my should and that's it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to London many times so it isn’t a once in a lifetime trip - last two times I only had the M11 and it served me brilliantly. I am considering just taking the MP this time since I just got the camera, but I am somewhat concerned about airport X-rays since I will have to take a few flights while over there. Would likely shoot Portra 400. Could buy the film there but don’t think I have time to get it developed out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, was there also a couple of times and then you can have a different perspective than the typical touri stuff 😉 Even though I have asked the airport staff to check my film manually (in Heathrow) they declined the request and mentioned everything up to 800 speed should be fine through the xray scanners. I was discussing with them but in the end I didn't have a choice. The good thing, it didn't harm / negatively impact the outcome (got the rolls back already). I had lomo 800 and portra 800 with me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are good. https://harmanlab.com/ (Hi everyone, my first post here. Name chosen as I am doing German on Duolingo.)

You could also send an email to the security teams at each airport you will use asking about hadn't searching for film baggage. Â Then when you turn up at security, produce the email that says they provide hand search for film on request. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
