I put the film in the lead-lined bags, it goes through the machine safely, the person at the computer can't see through the lead-lined bag, so they ask me to open the bags so they can hand-check the film - exactly what I wanted in the first place! I have the cloth-covered bags which will hold about 60 rolls of film and they work great. Hope this helps! Leically, Tina Tina Manley http://www.tinamanley.com
