A while back we were talking about the effect of airport x-ray on film. As most of you know, I recently took an international trip and carried quite a bit of film with me. I was quite worried about the film since they kept my backpack camera bag in the x-ray for at least a minute (I could see it on the screen) and my film was only contained in a plastic bag inside the backpack. The types of film were Tri-X, Portra 160, Ultracolor 400 and Gold 200. Only the Tri-X I shot has not been developed yet so I can't comment on it but the Kodak Gold, Portra and Ultracolor my wife shot showed no visible effects from the x-ray exposure. But just to be on the safe side, I did pick up 3 old NIB lead film bags off eek-bay for future use.
