Slightly different question here.
I'm going to the land of the rising sun in a few months, and would really like to buy an assload of film while I'm there.
>no, not like a whole 10pack of velvia; like 5kg of velvia, 5kg of neopan, etc
Only problem is xrays.
Now I've done the googling, but what I've found is nobody who's actually flown with film as checked luggage in the last decade and told the internet about how it worked out for them.
Also, Narita airport has some cryptic statement about their new x-rays for outbound checked luggage possibly being safe for slow film.
And I'm well aware of the internet's tendency to blow up insignificant problems.
So who has flown recently with undeveloped film in checked luggage? How was it?
