it It's the check-in luggage scanners that are powerful, not the carry-on. Carry-on seems to be okay for films below ISO 800. However, when I shot film, I almost always carried all of it in a lead bag. When it showed up as a shield on the scanner, the airport folks hand checked it. Always

I recently traveled to Italy. I took along 3 rolls of ISO 100 slide film (shot mainly digital, but wanted slides, too) that were scanned several times at certain museums, and, of course at airports. I kept the film in my camera bag that I had with me all of the time. The slides looked normal

AF point selection mode and metering mode are the two buried controls on the DS (Well WB and ISO move from the dial to the Fn menu, which I consider to be an improvement as you can now change them without leaving your shooting mode). However the DS does have the Fn menu, which speeds up access

Most will now empty out your lead bag and run the film through the scanner -- the lead bag makes you look suspicious. Carry your film out of the boxes and out of the plastic tubs, in a clear bag. Bring it as carry-on -- checked film WILL be ruined. Ask for hand inspection but don't press for

Been playing around with various IR filters this afternoon and found that I'm getting the best results with a far 'stronger' filter than the ubiquitous 695 nm variety (B+W 645, Hoya R72 etc.). This one here... http://www.photosight.ru/photo.php?photoid=1429884 ...has been taken with a Wratten

I disagree. Once the lead bag has gone through the scanner, they don't run the film through again. Has never happened to me in more than 50 flights wince 9/11. It almost ensures that you'll get a hand check. Paul On May 13, 2006, at 7:20 PM, Aaron Reynolds wrote: a Most will now empty out your

The World Is A Very Big Place (TM). In the USA, you are entitled to a hand check, if you ask. They'll try and assure you the scanners are OK for film slower than ISO 800, but you don't have to let them scan it. Of course this may well lead to you spending an extra 30 minutes being thoroughly
