The main point I'd like to say about this, is surely this is only about where you are going? If I'm going to Paris or New York etc., then I just arrive and buy film there, apart from maybe one or two rolls I travel with. I can understand if you're going on a professional mission to the remote wilds where there is unlikely to be anything but Kodak Gold, but to any major city? I also try and get the films processed where I am. Very easy to do in New York, London, Paris et al. I pack the negs rather than carry though exposed film. Just my 2 cents... Matt.
