[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear Fellow LUGnuts, I am traveling later this week to London and then on to Israel to lecture,scuba diving and photograph. I have about 60 rolls of film (color ASA 200 and B&W ASA 400). I understand the new xray scanners for checked luggage will probably fry my film. I plan on carrying the film in gallon sized zip lock clear plastic bags for hand inspection. Here's the question: Do I open up all the sealed boxes of film and keep the plastic cannisters separate from the actual film - or should I keep everything sealed in the cardboard boxes? Thanks for the help. My kit will consist of a Nikonos V with 15mm underwater lens and flash, Leica M6, 24asph or 28 elmarit (can't decide which one to take), 35 Summilux, 50 Summilux and 90 Summicron, Widelux F8 panoramic camera and Canon 10x30 stabilized binoculars. Happy shooting, Richard - --------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA, USA
