Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film
Designed to protect unprocessed film from harmful X-rays during airport security and customs checks. Lead-lined bags also protect other sensitive media from the low-dosage X-ray machines used in airports around the world. Without FilmGuard, unprocessed film can become fogged or streaked. Use FilmGuard in carry-on luggage, because checked luggage is exposed to high-dosage X-rays that FilmGuard cannot protect against.
FilmGuard bags were tested for effectiveness by InVision Technologies, Inc., manufacturers of the only Federal Aviation Administration-approved checked-luggage scanning system. Films with up to ISO 800 speeds were tested. The extensive tests showed that the FilmGuard design will protect film and disks from the low-dosage x-ray units used to check carry-on luggage. (The tests also showed that the amount of lead needed to protect film from high-dosage x-ray units would make the bags too heavy to be practical.)
Triple-layer construction also keeps dust and moisture out: lead-impregnated vinyl sheet sandwiched between an outer shell of ballistic nylon and interior lining of smooth lining. Available in three sizes, in black only.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
Excellent protection pouch for film when traveling. Protects your sensitive emulsions against X-rays used to scan hand luggage at airport security checks. High quality pouch, very well build and rugged. On the heavier side due to the lead lining but still practical. Highly recommended

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
I have the smaller size and needed a larger size. These bags are great for film protection, I have used them for years. When I travel to Spain or France I always bring back many rolls of film. In Europe, airport security doe not hand inspect the film, they just pass it through the x ray machines so you need some sort of protection for the film.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
I shoot 120 medium format film and was concerned about how may rolls I could fit. I was able to package 12 unboxed rolls easily and had room for much more if I needed.
I tried 2 five pack boxes of 120 but was a bit tight on the corners but worked. Unboxed is much easier to get in and out or 1 five pack box and 8 unboxed rolls work great too.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
Just used this for a holiday trip with about 12 rolls of film, which all fit in the bag easily. I had up to ISO 1600 film in the bag and it did not seem to be adversely affected (I see no fogging on the developed film).
Build quality is sturdy and the design is simple as a product of this type should be. It seems like it will last a long time.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
I've been shooting digital for a long time and just recently branched out to film. One concern with travel photography is how the film will react to x-ray scanners at airport security.
Have used this for a couple of trips so far and it does the job well without a lot of extra weight. I've carried mostly ISO 100 and 400 film, but I have also carried up to 1600 and not had an issue with film fogging from the x-rays. It's a simple design as it should be.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
great little case for transporting film, but really only holds 10 rolls, maybe a couple more, not expandable or strechable. Good construction and nice velcro closure.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Small - Holds 15 Rolls of 35mm Film:
I use this bag when traveling and what I liked about it was that I felt secure that my film wasn't getting ruined. When traveling, I am always paranoid that something is getting damaged, even if it is in my presence, but this bag helped keep my film secure. I do wish it was a zipper bag, but I guess that wouldn't make sense for the x-ray.
Overall, I love it!
