Domke Film Guard Bag (X-Ray), Mini - Holds 9 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, bacause 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, Mini - Holds 9 Rolls of 35mm Film:
First off, I bought this bag to run experiments with radioactive materials like tiny Czech beads and tiny pieces of minerals. Basically, I wanted to prove that a geiger counter worked and that the radiation could be significantly blocked. The bag did not block all radiation but the amount getting through was greatly reduced. The bad is nicely made and aesthetic.

Comments about Domke Film Guard Bag, Mini - Holds 9 Rolls of 35mm Film:
I now have two of these handy protective bags, and use them when traveling to keep film safe from x-ray checks, not only in airports but also at hotels now. I use two bags to separate film types (color and low-speed B/W in one, and higher speed (ISO 400) in the other. As use the file, then one bag becomes the holder for exposed film and the other for ready to use rolls. The bags do add weight, but are worth it to have film safe from fogging/streaking.
