Hi Clubsnappers,
Will films get damaged when your bags go thru the airport baggage scanners?
Thanks for your help.

reactan said:pack your film seperately, in a clear zip loc bag without the plastic containers, and depending on the airport you are at, you can request for hand inspection so that it doesnt have to pass through the x-ray machine.

BTW, I'll be going to Tokyo for a couple of days. Hopefully, the custom inspectors are kind to my camera and my films :bsmilie:
LKSC said:I have been told by others flying through Narita recently that customs at Narita does not allow hand inspection of film there anymore. Please be prepared for that.
ya might want to know that Japan airports have a limit on the length of handhelds.
Ektar25 said:erm... your film will be x-rayed twice at Changi going out and then once at Narita coming back - 3-6 times is not excessive unless you are planning to shoot ISO 1000-1600 film there is no reason why you must leave the film camera behind ... just my 2cents

i.e ya tripod if ya decided to handcarry it.
the manfrotto 190 will just get thru if ya break the center column off...
