Evergreen Film Case - Film Cases Worth Trying on Shoot It With Film

Organizing film is not a skill of mine. I have rolls of 35mm and 120 thrown in the bottom of my camera bag and stashed in random drawers throughout my house.

If you’re like me, a film case might be exactly what you need.

Film cases are containers specifically designed to store and carry 35mm and 120 rolls of film. They are a great option for organizing your film rolls, and they also make a wonderful gift for any film photographer in your life .

Let’s take a look at a few of the film cases out there.

Evergreen Protective Film Cases

If you are looking for durable and rugged, Evergreen cases are an awesome choice. They are the most protective on this list and designed to be waterproof and crushproof.

They are also made so you can store them in the refrigerator. No more Ziplock bags full of film in the fridge!

The Evergreen Seahorse X case is one of the largest film cases I’ve been able to find. Most cases hold five, sometimes ten, rolls of film, but the large version of the Seahorse X has a removable insert that holds 18 rolls of 35mm. (They are working on a film insert for 120 film that should be out soon.)

The smaller case holds 7 rolls of 35mm or 5 rolls of 120 but does not have any kind of insert holding the film in place.

Prices are around $20 for the small case and $45 for the large case.

You can also learn about their larger protective cases here .

They have five roll or single roll case options available for both 35mm and 120. The cases storing five rolls of film have leather (non-removable) loops inside the case to hold your film in place.

The single roll case comes with a keychain so you can hook it to your camera strap or bag. Great if you just want to make sure you have an extra roll of film on you! This style also has a beautiful dark green option.

The single roll case is around $12, and five roll case is around $40.

Kodak Retro Film Cases

And for an awesome retro look, you can’t go wrong with the Kodak film cases .

These metal film cases are painted in bright vintage Kodak colors like yellow, red, and blue (as well as a few neutral options).

The small case holds five rolls of 35mm film, and the larger case holds ten rolls of 35mm or eight rolls of 120. They all have removable plastic inserts to hold the film in place, and with the larger case, you can also easily mix rolls of 35mm and 120.

Take the inserts out, and the case turns into a great little multi-functional tin! Perfect for storing pens or office supplies.

The metal is also a nice touch, making these cases feel quite solid. The metal gives them an extra bit of durability so they won’t get dinged or scratched easily, and the lid also snaps securely into place so it won’t pop off in your camera bag.

You can get the smaller cases for around $25 and the larger ones for around $30.

Japan Camera Hunter Film Cases

At under $16, the film cases from Japan Camera Hunter have a simple and functional design at a great price point.

With separate cases for 35mm and 120, they have 35mm cases for five or ten rolls of film and 120 cases that hold five rolls of film.

These are made of hard molded plastic, with a shape that holds the film rolls in place without the need for inserts. They also come in a variety of fun colors: red, pink, green, black, and white.

The lid does not lock into place, so if you go for this film case, make sure the lid fits snuggly so it doesn’t accidently open in your camera bag.

The five roll 35mm case is around $14, and ten roll 35mm case and five roll 120 case is around $16.

Nice cases, but for 35mm film, I still prefer 35mm film cans taped upside down on my camera strap! It’s cheap – the cans are free, and how much does a few inches of electrician’s tape cost? – ans convenient – pop the lid and the film drops into your hand. The only drawback is if you want to give it as a gift! ?

I shoot with 120 film and 35mm and have two ETone plastic film cases (Amazon). Both are labeled – one to hold unexposed rolls and the other for exposed. Holds both 120 and also 35mm if I wanted to switch.

Do you have any recommendations for cases that protect against x-rays during airline travel?

January 9, 2023 at 4:46 pm

Hi Kristen! When flying with film, the best thing to do is to keep the film in your carry-on and ask for it to be hand checked through security to keep it from going through the x-ray machine. You can also use an x-ray bag designed for film (such as the Domke 711-15B Large Filmguard Bag), but these make it so the x-ray machines cannot see inside the bag at all. TSA may need to empty your luggage to check what is in the bag. Hope this helps!

How to travel with a film camera

Thinking about bringing your film camera on an upcoming trip? Here's what to consider and how to prepare for traveling with film in 2022.

By Aaron Gold | Published Mar 28, 2022 9:00 AM EDT

A film camera on a rock by the shore.

There was a time when traveling with film cameras was a no-brainer: Nearly all cameras used film, and you’d find all the support you needed almost anywhere you went. Today, the rise of digital photography and changes in transportation security make traveling with film gear more of a challenge.

In this three-part series, we’ll cover the specifics of traveling with film by air as well as traveling with film by land and sea . For this first part, we’ll discuss some general guidelines, including cautions about traveling with film and what you should bring on your trip.

The Perils of Traveling with Film

We love film and hate to speak ill of it, but the truth is that shooting travel photography on analog is not a sure thing. Unseen camera faults and mistakes in technique and/or handling can cause problems with your photographs, and unlike digital, you may not realize your photos didn’t come out until you get home. There’s also the potential for damage or mistakes in processing.

Does this mean you should avoid film photography for travel? Absolutely not! Film gives its own special look to travel photos and we wouldn’t miss that for the world. However, there’s nothing wrong with doing what our film-only forbears couldn’t, which is to use modern technology as a backup. If you’re facing that once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity, there’s nothing wrong with snapping an extra shot on your phone or a digital camera, just in case.

Traveling with film: What film to bring

Back in the day, no matter where you were headed, you could almost always find film—and often good-quality processing—at your destination. Not so today, so modern film photographers will most likely be carrying both new and exposed-but-unprocessed rolls. This is particularly tricky with regards to air travel, which we’ll cover in Part 2 of this series.

If you’re traveling with film, you’ll want to take plenty with you; running out of film on a trip is never fun. What kind of film should you bring? We prefer to stick to film stocks we know and like. We’ve experimented with unfamiliar emulsions while traveling, only to get home and find that new-to-us film didn’t give us the look we were looking for. Our recommendation is to experiment at home and travel with film you know.

Related: Going back to film? Here’s what’s changed

It’s a good idea to check the weather conditions at your destination to help determine what speed film you’ll need. If it’s bright and sunny, we’ll pack mostly ISO 100 film with a couple of rolls of ISO 400 in case the clouds roll in. If we’re expecting inclement weather, we up the proportion of faster film. For indoor photography, many filmies pack some ultra-high-speed film (such as Delta 3200 or T-Max 3200) or a flash. Another option is to shoot ISO 400 or 800 film at 1600 and push-process it. (Be sure to note which rolls need pushing!)

It’s worth noting, though, higher-speed films are more susceptible to the negative effects of airport X-rays. And if you’re bringing along film faster than ISO 400, we recommend carrying it on board (this goes for all film, actually) and requesting a “hand inspection” at security. We’ll cover this more in part 2.

Alternatives to bringing your own film

If you’re traveling to a large city, you may be able to buy film locally. Do a little Googling and be sure to call or email ahead to make sure local stores have adequate stock of your film(s) of choice. If you regularly mail-order film, you may be able to get your mail-order house to ship film to your lodgings; be sure to call ahead to your hotel to make sure they can receive packages for guests. Alternatively, you can mail film ahead to your digs. This method isn’t foolproof—packages do get lost or delayed—so it’s best to bring a couple of rolls with you, just in case.

If you use a mail-order lab for processing, consider mailing your exposed film to the lab directly from your trip. That’ll save some bulk in your luggage (and an X-ray inspection if you are flying).

The case for bringing more than one camera

Digital cameras offer variable ISO settings and can switch seamlessly between color and B&W, but film cameras can’t do that, and mid-roll film changes are time-consuming (and difficult or impossible on some auto-wind cameras). That’s the reason why, back in the film days, avid photographers frequently traveled with a second camera (or third). One camera might be loaded with color film, the other with B&W, or one with slow film and one with higher-speed film. If you travel with a second camera, we recommend keeping that extra camera unloaded until you know what you need it for, to provide you with extra flexibility.

Traveling With 35mm point-and-shoot cameras

If you’re a compact point-and-shoot photographer, you’re in great shape—after all, P&S compacts were designed with travel photography in mind. A compact camera with a zoom lens will give you the most flexibility, but the 35mm lens fitted to many fixed-focal-length cameras works nicely for travel snapshots.

Most point-and-shoot cameras are made to withstand a little foul weather, but if you are concerned about getting seriously rained on (some vacation!), consider a “weather-resistant” camera like the Pentax IQ Zoom 90 WR. There are other fully-waterproof compacts like the Canon Sure Shot A-1, but if underwater film photography is on your agenda, consider a one-time disposable camera like the Kodak Water & Sport or Fujifilm’s Quicksnap Waterproof —that way you don’t have to worry about your hard-to-replace camera getting damaged.

Traveling With 35mm SLRs

SLRs give you more creative control over your photos, but they do add bulk, which can slow you down while traveling. SLRs come in all shapes and sizes, and we recommend smaller ones for smoother travel. Older manual-wind cameras (particularly the Olympus OM-series and Pentax M-series) and later-model plastic-bodied SLRs (like those from Minolta and Canon) are among the lightest and easiest to travel with. Pro-level cameras like the Nikon F4 are bulky and heavy.

But isn’t pro-level gear best for travel? Not necessarily: A once-in-a-lifetime trip might seem to warrant your best film equipment, but there’s an argument to be made for leaving your nicer cameras home. Remember, with film—and unlike digital—it’s not the camera that determines image quality, but rather the lenses and the film stock. For travel, consider taking older bodies that you don’t mind getting knocked around a bit, and which will be easier (and cheaper) to replace if they get lost or stolen.

Travel gear laid out on the floor, including a film camera

If you’re bringing a second camera body, it should be one that is lens-compatible with your primary body so there’s no need to bring a second set of lenses. Your backup camera need not be anything fancy or expensive. A $20 Nikon N65 makes a great backup for your Nikon F5 or N90s and takes up little extra space in your camera bag.

What lenses should you bring? If you’re using an autofocus SLR, a pair of zoom lenses in the 24-70mm and 70-200mm range should meet most of your needs. For manual-focus SLRs, the standard wide/normal/tele “prime trifecta”—28mm, 50mm, and 135mm —will suit you well. Again, consider the value of your equipment and the difficulty of replacing it in the event of breakage or theft. We’d much rather risk a $25 Vivitar lens than a $250 Nikon lens. Consider fitting a UV filter to all of your lenses to protect them from damage.

Traveling With Other Types of Film Cameras

35mm rangefinder cameras give you the portability of a compact, and most offer the creative control of an SLR, so they’re great travel companions. The only thing that gives us pause is their value: Some of us find it hard to relax and enjoy our trip while worried about damaging or losing our $5,000 Leica.

Point-and-shooters might want to consider a bridge camera, which offers the creative control of an SLR in a more compact package. Their wide-range zoom lenses make them great for travel, and they offer a variety of automatic, semi-automatic, and manual modes.

Instant cameras are great for snapshots, but not so great for landscape or architecture photos—and with the high cost of film, instant travel photography can get very expensive very quickly.

What about medium- and large-format gear? A small TLR like the Yashicamat or Mamiya 645 takes up only a little more space than a bulky 35mm rig, but bigger cameras like the Mamiya RB67 and Pentax 67 can really weigh you down, as can large-format cameras, which generally require a tripod. We tend to reserve the bigger gear for trips by car. If you do take large and expensive gear via commercial travel, be sure to keep it with you and avoid checking it at all costs.

What Else Should You Bring With You?

If you have extra space in your film kit, here are a few items you should consider bringing, in order of importance:

  • Extra batteries. Manual-wind cameras use button batteries that last for years; one extra set should suffice. For auto-wind cameras with a higher power appetite, it’s best to know before you go how many rolls a set of batteries will get through, and bring lots of extras.
  • Extra lens-cleaning cloths. Travel is filthy business!
  • Filters. It’s a good idea to have a good-quality UV filter on all your film-camera lenses to protect from damage. A circular polarizer can be very handy for reflective surfaces (cars, windows, water). If you’re shooting B&W film, consider a yellow or red filter to bring more contrast and texture to the skies. 
  • Film Changing Bag. If you have the space, a dark bag is a handy thing to carry. We’ve had old cameras jam while traveling, and a dark bag provides a safe place to open the camera and retrieve your film.

One Last Tip: Don’t Forget To Vacation!

We love traveling with film gear because it presents so many opportunities to take great photos, but we try to avoid seeing our entire vacation through a camera lens. Always be on the lookout for good photo opportunities, but make sure you take time to enjoy and experience the sights with your own senses.

Tips for bringing film through airport security and the TSA X-rays and the new CT scanners

So you love to travel and you love to shoot film? If so, you’ll often find yourself in an airport security line with a bag full of film. So what about those TSA X-rays and the new TSA CT Scanners? What effect can they have on your film?

This is a question we hear from our customers often. We have everything you need to know on the effects of the new CT Scanners, the traditional X-Ray scanners along with helpful tips to ease your mind on your next trip or when planning future film travels.

When you make your way to the front of the line, just politely tell a TSA agent you have photographic film and you would like to request a hand-check.

Here are a few ways to keep your film organized and accessible for an efficient TSA experience:

  • Take your film out of all canisters and wrappers.
  • Place it in a transparent, ziplock bag.
  • Keep your film in a side pocket or other easy-access area of your carry-on for quick removal.
  • Don’t keep film in any luggage or baggage that will be checked. This includes cameras that still have film in them.
  • Consider shipping your exposed film to the film lab for processing prior to your return trip… It’s easy if you take some prepaid mailers from The Darkroom.

TSA CT Scanner

TSA plans to have up to 145 units in place at airports around the nation by the start of 2020, along with 16 units at federal testing facilities.

TSA X-Ray Scanners

Most signs at TSA security checkpoints indicate film below 800 ISO will not be affected by the x-rays and, in our experience, this appears to be pretty accurate. We’ve sent dozens of rolls through x-rays (when the option to hand-check was not available) and the machines didn’t seem to have a very noticeable effect on the film—especially our black & white rolls.

Processed film is not affected by x-rays.

Flying with Film: Results from 3x X-Ray

What is the most ideal way to safely get my film through security?

Don’t keep film in checked baggage!

Checked baggage  often goes through equipment with higher energy X rays, but X-ray equipment used to inspect carry-on baggage uses a very low level of x-radiation that will not cause noticeable damage to most films. The high-dose X-ray scan on checked baggage can damage film immediately and corrections can’t be made at the processing lab. See below for examples of how X-rays affect film in checked baggage.

We always recommend getting your film hand-checked if possible, especially if you’re travel will include multiple x-ray scans. Even if it is below 800 ISO. We prefer to err on the safe side when your sweet analog memories could be at risk. When you make your way to the front of the line, just politely tell a TSA agent you have photographic film and you would like to request a hand-check.

If you do want to check film in your luggage, you can buy specialized film bags for X-ray scanners

Xray film Filmguard Bag

Filmguard Bag specializes in protecting film in X-ray scanners by lining the vinyl bag with lead. Features include the ability to protect against fogging/streaking of unprocessed film with different sizes that can hold thirty-five rolls of 35mm film, or three 50-sheet boxes of 4×5″ film, or a small camera with a few rolls.

Note: We haven’t tried these bags and don’t know how well they work.

• Take your film out of all canisters and wrappers. • Place it in a transparent, ziplock bag. • Keep your film in a side pocket or other easy-access area of your carry-on for quick removal. • Don’t keep film in any luggage or baggage that will be checked. This includes cameras that still have film in them. • Consider shipping your exposed film to the film lab for processing… preferably to The Darkroom.

Instant Film

Always have instant film hand checked and never have it scanned through the x-ray machine. It must be hand checked. Film that’s wrapped in silver wrapping will likely be opened by the TSA agents, so you’ll save time and have it done with more care if you prepare it yourself prior. Anything instant such as Polaroid, Fuji pack film, and Instax will be fogged with muddy shadows when scanned by the x-ray machines.

What if I can’t get my film hand-checked?

If for some reason you don’t have time, aren’t permitted, or totally forget to request a hand-check for your film, don’t sweat it. The odds are in your favor. We’ve gathered a handful of our x-rayed film scans—most of which went through an x-ray a total of 6 times and still produced great results!

Exposure from checked baggage scanners can have an extreme effect and fog film.  Fog typically appears as soft-edged bands 1/4 to 3/8 inch (1 to 1.5 cm) wide. The orientation of the fog stripe depends on the orientation of the film in the scanner relative to the X-ray beam. The X-ray banding is often linear or wavy running lengthwise or horizontally on the film. Whether the undulating wavelengths is visible depends on the photographic content. Busy scenes will obscure or lessen X-ray effects, otherwise, the photo may display some signs of wavy lines or fogging.

35mm film travel case

Thanks for posting guys. This article is very accurate and consistent with my personal experience. I travel all the time and always ask for a hand check. It’s easiest to have all your film (inc. camera if it has film in it) in a separate bag so you can just hand that all to the security agent. One thing I will add is that if you are dealing with a foreign country that doesn’t speak English, don’t be afraid to be stern with the security that it can’t go through the X-ray. Throughout south east Asia one of the ways I was allowed to do this was by taking a picture for the security personnel to prove the camera is functional. Otherwise be nice and grateful that the security is treating your camera and film better than the baggage personnel sure would. Cheers!

What about the x-ray cases sold to defend the film from the rays? Does anyone use them?

I aways put my film in a lead “airport xray secure xray” bag. I keep it in my carry on. It almost always prompts a hand check when they put it through the xray scanner. Too many times have I had a hassel with the security for a hand check. They even once did a hand and sent it through the xray machine anyway. That was in India, but this is the exception. Almost everywhere else they ask what’s on the lead bag and I tell them it’s film. They usually just do a quick check and let me through. Less problems this way (at least in my experience).

Great info and examples. I often travel with Ilford Delta 3200 and always assumed It was toast if it went through any x-ray machine. I have a small stockpile of x-rayed rolls, (from EU airport security that refused to handcheck film and when I’ve forgotten I had it in my bag going through museum security), that I’ve been afraid to shoot. I won’t let it go to waste now!

I’ve always sent instant film through the carry on x-ray machines and have never noticed a problem. But then I purposely shoot expired instant film most of the time, so any x-ray effects would be just another imperfection I actually want the film to produce.

Thanks- getting ready to travel with loads of film(negatives) , memories from 20 years ago.Do I need a clearance in advance from the security?

Film that has already been exposed and developed will not be damaged by X-rays.

If it’s developed you don’t need to worry; the x-ray won’t affect it. The advice here is about undeveloped film.

[…] you believe your film was damaged by X-rays at the airport. See this article on how to prevent it in the […]

My question: If I send film from a foreign country like India, will that package be x-rayed?

hello how about the 16mm rolls ? how can we pass it through xray process

Be warned. Lisbon airport has some very different ideas then the airports I’ve taken film through in Kuwait, Pakistan, India, Dubai, Amman, Rome, Istanbul, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Luang Phrabang, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, New York City, Vancouver, etc… (the list goes on and on).

No friends of photographers, I can’t feel ashamed saying the airport security guards here and their managers are real bastards. Despite transferring through this airport in 2018 and being given a hand inspection upon request, on this transfer I was forced to X-ray my film in order to pass – and that was just transferring, not even going through immigration. No matter how long I tried – even speaking with the head of airport security – the message was the same: if it goes past security it goes through the X-ray and that is final. I asked what they do with professional photographers – and they insisted that all professionals did their research properly and knew that they needed special written permission from ANAC for their film. Of course ANAC was completely closed on weekends and didn’t take last minute quick turnaround submissions anyway. I have never had to apply to a civil aviation authority for permits to get film hand inspected, and even now I don’t really see much in the way of letting people know that’s what they have to do. So for those of you going to or from Lisbon, or even transferring through – be warned. If I had instant film it would be totally toast. Not eager to see how my infrared and high iso color rolls are going to look 🙁

Hey Ryan how was it at the end ? Same just happened to me in Lisbon Airport while transferring ….. I only have 400 ISO speed film so should be ok but did you have any issue ?

Just had a similar experience transferring through Lisbon. Without express written permission, everything goes through the X-ray. Luckily I had only low iso colour sheet film. I will try to reply here with the results when it gets processed

same here, in lisbon portra 400 was heavily damaged due to a hand check being denied. be aware! is there really no official procedure in place? i do this professionally and it it feels like playing there lottery every time.

i was in Oslo airport and they refused to hand check my camera with a roll of portra 400 inside. just got my roll developed and it’s completely toasted… luckily the second roll i had that was unused at the time turned out slightly better (underexposed for most photos but i’m not sure if it’s related or not)… super upset about my films but it is what it is and hopefully i’ll learn my lesson next time

I’ve emailed several security departments at ANAC and Lisbon airport over the past 2 weeks for an upcoming trip and received no response as of yet (19 days and counting).

The Customer Service at Lisbon Airport has responded but repeatedly directs me to a department that wont.

I can’t find anything on the ANAC site for contacting them about an exemption film or camera.

Plus one from Lisbon (june 2022). The lady checking boarding passes at security check was actually quite polite and said it would be ok to hand check them, but when I got to the tray line no amount of talking would convince the officers to hand check my film. Should’ve had aurhorizarion from airport authorities. And they had sniffers right beside the scanner!

Really sorry to hear that! Stories like this make me really angry…

Most airports are less willing to mess with hand inspections in this era of digital photography. For many years, film had virtually disappeared from the security equation. I still find airports in the USA that absolutely refuse to just hand inspect film. Indeed, when they make you take electronic stuff out of your bag for hand inspection, they end up putting each item removed from bag back on the belt. I had one instance in Houston where they removdd 6 usb cables, 5 batteries, a power brick and some other odds and ends from the bag by hand. Then they put each one through individually on the belt. Something similar happened to me in Frankfurt and Beijing. So, these are every day items and were treated this way. Imagine something strange like film being encountered. Hopefully, with the increase in both film use and CT scanner use the hand inspection will come back into play.

I have read the reviews so in total sense it would be better and safer to don’t have any x-rays on unexposed film and exposed film ?

I had mixed experiences – one airport in Boston was able to hand check. At the airport in Denver Colorado there was so sign that I could see at least regarding checking 35mm film. They also kept directing you like herding sheep so you went where they yelled for you to go. I got up to the check point to start putting my sneakers luggage etc in the bins and asked about scanning my film already in a clear bag and out and the woman rudely said “you’re in the wrong line, you have to go to that one” and pointed to a few lines over. She was not going to budge and I had waiting in the security check line for 25-30 minutes I couldn’t afford to start over to go to a new line. Was very disappointed and now makes me paranoid not all airports give a rats bum. Was going to look into the lead bag. They will take it out but at least it’s protected.

Sorry for any spelling errors. Was waiting in one large line and was directed to individual security check lines and *saw no sign regarding hand checking film* prior to getting in a smaller line

Was super anxious to travel with film but appreciated this article and happy to report my experience traveling with 35mm film was a success. Went to 4 airports in the US and didn’t see any signs saying film can go through but the TSA agents were happy to hand check every time, (every time just handed to them while I was putting things in bins) and got it back to me quickly. I made sure to use all the film so didn’t have to have them hand check the camera. I also kept it in the box I purchased it in so they recognized it as film just by me holding up.

The airport in Lima just refused me a hand check of a polaroid with film inside. Does anyone know if my film is sure to be damaged?

I was just refused a hand check in Qatar Hamad International. Fingers crossed all the film i shot of our epic trip are alright. When I was a kid, my dad traveled with a lead-lined bag. Not sure how that’s any different if the security personnel can’t see inside. They’ll want to take the film out and zap it regardless.

[…] However, new airport scanners like the TSA CT (Computed Tomography) scanners (like the one below) will damage any unprocessed film on the first scan. To keep your film from being ruined, put all of your unprocessed and/or new film in a clear, plastic bag and request a hand-check during the security line. Also, keep in mind only new and unprocessed film will be affected, including instant film. […]

Traveling from JFK airport to London, a border guard noticed I had a transparent bag of exposed films and asked me if I like him to hand-check. I was quite surprised as I had anticipated some difficulties. He was incredibly polite and helpful. So, my takeaway from that was – make airport staff’s job easier, and be friendly and respectful.

Planning on travelling to Spain (Barcelona), Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence), and the South of France (Nice) this summer. Would anyone know of any problems regarding hand-checking films in any of these places? Really anxious about being denied hand-checks and having to put my film through X-rays scanners 😣

I just went through security at the Nice airport, and they would not hand check my film, even after explaining multiple times that it should not go through the machine. They instead pointed at a pictogram of a digital camera and insisted that it meant that my film would be ok. I hope you get more understanding people.

Hi Gabby, did you end up having issues in Barcelona? I’m going in a few weeks!

Hey Gabby! Any updated? Im in the same boat, leaving from Milan to go to Barcelona, Naples, and Nice. Lmk!

I flew through France to Florence. I had hand checks at all security checkpoints from USA to abroad. It was a real hassle at times. They would leave my Ziploc bag full of film, unattended, and I would be waiting a long time until someone got to it. Once they did hand check, they would open up each canister and brush each roll of film. The issue is getting through in a timely manner with lay overs of 2.5 hrs or less. This summer 2023 I am going to Malta and I am not i sure if I want the hassle. I shot film in 2001 in Malta traveling from the USA I can’t remember how it was handled, but I have the pics and they are all ok.

hi there does removing the foil around a roll of medium format of unexposed film lead to any light leak? I’m trying to make it easy on the staff by removing the foil before hand but don’t want to damage my film

no worries, no light leak without the foil.

Hi all, I will be travelling from Australia next month through Adelaide, Melbourne, Singapore, London Heathrow, London, Stansted & Salzburg. Can anyone tell me any of these airports are going to give me a hard time having my film hand checked? I usually develop my own film at home, but I am wondering if I should not travel with unprocessed film, but buy film in my holiday destination & pay a lab to develop before travelling through each airport?

[…] The best method way to keep it safe to ask security to hand-check your camera and film if possible, so that it is not exposed to the x-rays at all. Put your unprocessed disposable film and camera into a ziplock, or plastic, bag and tell the attendant you want it to be hand checked. […]

I’ll be transferring at Abu Dhabi Airport, United Arab Emirates in August. Has any had any problems with hand checks there?

I lost most of a bulk roll of HP5+ at the Oakland Airport this morning. Had successful hand checks of my bulk loader in the past, but the young TSA agent this morning insisted on opening up the loader “because there could be bullets inside.” He did not seem to grasp that this would wreck the film and insisted he just needed to check inside, as if I could just use it after he exposed 80 feet of film. So I opened the loader, took out the reel, and asked him to chuck it in the bin. He seemed confused that I did not want it anymore. I think the advice in this article is good. He did not have a problem with the individual 35mm cassette I had. Not sure what he would do with a bag of home-spooled 35mm cassettes, but now I know to leave the bulk loader at home!

Traveling from Edinburgh airport they absolutely refused to hand check my film and said they only hand check over 800iso. Really disappointing experience. I had a lead bag, but still worry that’s not enough to get perfect film back. I had portra 400 120

I just went through an X Ray Scanner at Mexico City airport. The security personal were ambiguous about the hand check as I got closer to the X Ray machine, and they let me no other option than get my camera through the X Rays 🙁 I have loaded a Kodak Pro Image 100 and hopefully my photos survive 🙏. Thanks a lot for the information and examples!

This is a must-read for anyone traveling with film! The care you’ve taken to explain the nuances of different scanners is appreciated. Keeping film organized in transparent bags and requesting hand-checks is now on my travel checklist.

The film will be spoiled, those who say otherwise simply haven’t checked it. For example, the base of a sheet that has been exposed adds approximately 0.2 to the density. I check all my sheets using a densitometer. And you need to understand that while traveling, the film passes through the scanner more than just once. This is very unpleasant to get the base ≈0.35 instead of ≈0.15. If you are an amateur and shoot 35mm, scan it and photoshop it, then you won’t notice this.

I lost 3 films a month ago, but I don’t know if it was because of the scanning devices at the airport or not, because the films were subjected to security scanning 5 times (2 in Romania – 2 in Athens – 1 in Riyadh) After returning home and developing the films, only 9 of the 105 images appeared, and the rest of the images did not appear Although I am sure that the development steps were perfect, I do not know 🙁

I don’t know, I think CT scanners end traveling with film for good. TSA agents are cop academy washouts pretending to be drill instructors, who’s gonna risk their work trusting an agency shown to be unable to stop drugs or weapons? Putting film through X-ray machines is just about all they CAN do lmao

How To Fly Confidently with Film: Tips for Flying with 35mm, Medium Format, Instant film, and Disposable Cameras

Film-based photography has risen in popularity over the last few years due to social media introducing the medium to new audiences. Many want to bring film cameras to document their travels in addition or in place of a digital camera and/or smartphone. With the X-ray scanners used by airport security, many photographers are worried that their film may be ruined.

To safely fly with film, put your unprocessed film and camera in a heavy duty, clear bag, store it in your carry-on luggage, and ask a TSA official to hand check it to avoid being scanned by X-rays. The unprocessed film should also never be stored in checked luggage since checked bags go through even stronger X-rays which will definitely ruin your film. Also, consider applying for TSA Pre-Check when flying with film to avoid much of the hassle .

You can do a few specific things to avoid your film getting destroyed due to airport security measures. Let’s go into more detail about specific film types and other things you should look out for before taking film onto a plane. Keep reading to learn more.

Older X-Ray Scanners vs New CT scanners

Airport Security Checkpoint Signing Warning about Photographic Film

In the past, airport X-ray scanners for security checkpoints were not very strong and allowed for film less than 800 ISO to pass through several times before any damage like fogging to occur. However, scanners used for checked luggage have always been much stronger than those used for carry-on luggage and would damage any kind of film at any ISO rating.

TSA Airport Security sign for checked luggage. Note the film warning at the bottom of the sign.

Do the Newest Airport Security Scanners Harm Photographic Film?

  • Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI)
  • Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
  • Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG)
  • Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)

General Tips for Taking Film On A Plane

Label created by Kodak for Film when flying with film

Flying with film may seem stressful but in my experience is easy if you prepare. Follow these general tips to fly confidently with your film:

  • Try to identify how many times you’ll have to pass through airport security
  • Keep your film and camera loaded with film in your carry-on luggage and not in your checked luggge
  • Take your film out of all canisters and wrappers.
  • Keep your camera and undeveloped film in your carry-on and keep them in a clear, sturdy plastic bag
  • Store your clear bag of film and film camera in an easy to access location of your carry-on luggage
  • Arrive 20 – 30 mins early airport security

How To Prepare and Store Exposed Film For Airport Handchecks Using Plastic Bags

Asking For A Hand Check Varies

Lead lined bags for protection, mail your film to avoid possible film damage at an airport.

If bringing film through TSA at all sounds a bit risky to you, another option is to send your film in a package to your destination or consider sending your exposed but unprocess film to an online lab for development so you don’t have to worry about it all going through airport security at all.

Tips For Flying with 35mm and Medium Format Film

New airport CT scanners for carry-on luggage that will ruin unprocessed film on the first pass.

In the images below you can see how airport scanners damaged the film and what it looks like. Notice the light and dark bands on the negatives as well as the fogging on the portrait.

How To Keep Your 35mm and Medium Format Film Safe While Flying

The  best method to keep your unprocessed film safe to ask security to hand-check  your camera and film if possible, so that it is not exposed to the x-rays at all. Put your unprocessed film and camera into a clear plastic bag (I recommend a  sturdy Ziplock gallon bag  like this one on Amazon.com) and ask the attendant for it to be checked by hand.

Follow these steps for confidently flying with your 35mm and Medium Format film:

  • Keep your film and camera in your carry-on luggage and not in your checked luggage
  • Take all of your film out of the canisters and wrappers
  • Keep your film and camera in a clear, plastic bag
  • Store your transparent bag of unprocessed film and film camera in an easy to access location of your carry-on luggage
  • Ask for your unprocessed film and film camera to be hand-checked

Tips For Flying with Disposable Cameras

Disposable cameras can go through security but, just like with roll film, there needs to be some caution.

Most older X-ray machines found in airports will not cause damage to unexposed film in your disposable film camera rated up to ISO 800 unless the film is subjected to repeated passes. Though it is also not recommended to allow film of higher speeds, like 3200 ISO, to pass through the scanners.

How To Keep Disposable Cameras Safe While Flying

The best method to keep your disposable camera safe is to ask security to hand-check  your camera and film, so that it won’t be exposed to X-rays at all. Put your unprocessed disposable camera(s) into a clear, sturdy, plastic bag (I recommend a  sturdy Ziplock gallon bag  like this one on Amazon.com) and ask the TSA agent for it to be checked by hand.

Follow these steps for confidently flying with your disposable cameras:

  • Keep your disposable camera(s) in your carry-on luggage and not in your checked luggage
  • Take all of your cameras out of the wrappers.
  • Keep your camera(s) in a clear, plastic bag
  • Store your transparent bag of disposable camera(s) in an easy to access location of your carry-on luggage
  • Ask for your disposable camera(s) to be hand-checked

Tips For Flying with Instant Film

Instant film like the Instax Wide film shown are not affected by airport scanners once they've been shot.

How Do You Travel with Instant Film?

Always ask for it be hand checked but keep in mind the attendant will most likely open up any of the foil pouches that instant film comes in so if you go ahead and open it beforehand to save time.

Tips for taking your Instax camera on an plane are:

  • If possible, obtain a lead-lined bag (like  this one from Domke )
  • Keep your instant film and instant camera in your carry-on luggage and not in your checked luggage
  • Take all of your instant film out of the silver wrappers.
  • Keep your instant film and camera in a clear, sturdy plastic bag
  • Store your transparent bag of instant film and your instant camera in an easy to access location of your carry-on luggage
  • Ask for your instant camera loaded with film and undeveloped instant film to be hand-checked

Do X-rays Ruin Instant Film?

Yes, X-rays will create light and dark bands on your image, fog your undeveloped Instant film, and produce dark and muddy shadows. Notice the images below where the x-ray scan created fog on the image and the x-ray created white and dark bands of color.

Instant Film with X-Ray Fog. Notice the random white marks and overall low contrast.

Because of this it is best to keep your camera with carry-on luggage, store your camera loaded with film and undeveloped film in a clear plastic bag, and politely ask for a hand-check went going through security.

Consider TSA Pre-Check When Flying With Film

The Sign for the TSA Pre-Check Line

One way to make the airport experience go smoother when flying with film is to consider signing up for TSA Pre-Check. While it can be expensive if you don’t fly often ($85 for five years and $70 to renew), it can save you a lot of hassle, time, and stress.

With a TSA Pre-Check boarding pass, you get a dedicated line at airport security which tends to move faster and you get special privileges such as:

  • Keeping on your shoes, belt, and light jackets
  • Keeping your electronics (like cameras) in your carry-on
  • Easier to hand check film (might not have to even remove it from your carry-on)
  • Keeping your toiletries in your carry-on
  • Bypassing the body scanner

It’s possible that you can get TSA Pre-Check for free if you get randomly assigned (more likely if you are a senior citizen (75 or older), military benefits, you redeem miles or points, be 12 or under, have a certain credit card, or if you are flying business or first class.

Digital Cameras and Security Scanners

It is important to remember that it is completely safe for digital cameras to go through the older and new CT style of X-ray machines. There is a slight chance that flash memory (like SD cards) can be corrupted due to amount and length of exposure but this has never happened to me in all the time I’ve been flying with digital cameras (13 countries between 2016 – 2019).

Flying with Spare Rechargeable Batteries

Most Newer lithium ion rechargeable batteries have the Wh rating marked on them. If not, you can calculate the Watt Hour (Wh) by multiplying the battery voltage by the Amp hours (Ah).

EPAM Defends Interests of Tele2 in Case Against Moscow Metro

EPAM Defends Interests of Tele2 in Case Against Moscow Metro

Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners has successfully defended the interests of T2 Mobile (Tele2) – a nation-wide mobile operator in Russia – in what the firm describes as "a precedent-setting case against the Moscow Metro regarding unfair tariffs for placing telecommunications equipment in the metro."

EPAM was able to convince the competition authority of the Metro’s dominant position as sole owner of unique infrastructure, and "of the unfounded and discriminatory nature of the one-off payment applied to Tele2 for placing communications equipment at each station."

As a result, the firm reports, "the Moscow Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service issued a warning requesting that the Moscow Metro rescind the discriminatory tariffs for Tele2 and offer [it] the same conditions for placing telecommunications equipment as those enjoyed by other telecom operators. This will have a positive effect on competition in the sector. The warning is an important step in allowing a fourth telecom provider to become fully operational in the metro and will ensure that Tele2 customers can make the most of its telecommunication services."

The EPAM team consisted of Partner Anna Numerova, Counsel Denis Gavrilov, and Associate Alexander Balyberdin.
