In about a month I am going to Hawaii for a short vacation. Most likely I will take the 67II and leave home the 35mm gear. Still deciding on that one.
Anyway, I am wondering what the current state of film going through the detectors is. Is there any noticeable damage coming from the x-ray machines? At what speed is the film problematic? An interesting angle for me is that the 120 roll film is spooled on plastic cores so theoretically I could walk through the metal detector with them on my person. Has anyone tried this? It seems that all the Kodak film comes in plastic outer wrapper (sealed), but the Fuji and Agfa use something more like a metal film of some type. I'm guessing that would make a difference. Does anyone have any experience with this? Anything else I need to watch out for? How stringent are the airlines (United in this case) about carry-on regulations (size, weight)? If it helps the discussion, I'll be flying out of San Francisco and landing in Maui. Any tips or suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Bruce
