RETO Film X-Protec Bag - CORDURA Waterproof, X-Ray Proof, Lead-Free, Radiopaque Fabric, Lightweight, Durable Duo Layer, Radiation-Resistant Protective Film Bag Size S (16.5 x 18.0 cm) (One Piece)

Great for film and I actually use these to travel with my radiation dosimeter badge. I do make sure to hand check these when flying (TSA). The construction is very sturdy and the size can hold several rolls of film and even a cellphone.

I've been shooting film since I was a child, which is a longer time ago than I'd like to think about right now :P. It is inherently superior in character to digital in every way (in my humble opinion), but one of the downsides is transporting it through travel checkpoints, where the evil, dreaded x-ray might be. Back in the day, checkpoint workers used to know how to handle film (some of the time), but it's almost a relic of the past these days, and a lot of checkpoint workers simply do not care that they're going to ruin your memories. It was a habit of mine, for ages, to simply get the film developed on rush order, wherever I was... and sometimes? It's not a great thing. If you want to push or pull a roll, or even if you're simply not sure of the quality of the lab you're using, you're kind of at the mercy of the last minute. Bags like these fix that issue. I have not used this bag yet, but I can safely say the quality level is incredibly high, and you can tell that whoever designed it, a) is a photographer, themselves, and b) cared about making a good product. I'm stoked to test it out.

Got this for plane travel on a trip, was a little worried about losing film but with this it was a great mind ease. Small compact and worked great on my carry on. It never went through he x-ray machine - I guess if you tell the security its a camera and film they will just pull and search it to protect it which was nice of them. I had a couple extra film rolls in it and it worked great to keep my film in 1 place well travelling. Do wish the size was slightly larger but it is a great bad overall.

I have a few undeveloped and unused film rolls that I need to store, and it gives me such a peace of mind knowing that they can stay safe in my backpack/bag when I'm not using them. The bag isn't too big or heavy, and it can slide into a larger pocket and cause no issue. The material feels sturdy and quality as well.

I ship a lot of stuff to the Philippines via a balikbayan service. This service allows me to stuff up to 100 pounds of stuff into a large cardboard box provided by the company, and ship to my wife's family for abiout $100. Only problem is, sometimes they X-ray the boxes, and because it's a large box, they use some pretty powerful X-rays to see everything inside. I had tried to send watermelon seeds and some live oak acorns to my brother-in-law to grow on our farm there, but nothing would germinate because the X-rays had sterilized the seeds and acorns. I got this X-ray proof pouch, send some more seeds and acorns, and now we have a field of great big Georgia watermelons in the field, as well as a bunch of Live Oak seedling popping up. This is a great product, and will protect anything from harmful X-rays.

Consider me impressed by the build quality. This is a solidly built pouch; I had kind of forgotten how flimsy some of the current camera bag offerings had become, and this film pouch reminds me more of my camera bags from the 90's that are still going strong today. I haven't been through TSA with it yet, but you can feel that there's a thicker layer inside the body of the pouch that likely has the xray blocking material in it. I'm honestly really happy. Since the listing doesn't do a great job of specifying the size, the small size pouch comfortably holds 8 rolls of 120 film. The tag claims 16 rolls of 35mm, though I'd guess maybe more like 12 in their plastic canisters (who carries film outside those?). Maybe the one improvement could be a larger label or spot to put a label saying "film inside" since it's not overly obvious. I might try to see if I can find a keychain that says that to hang from the pouch when traveling.

If you’re looking for a small bag to carry on its own or to keep inside your backpack for storing negatives or film rolls in a separate and protected way, I’d recommend this bag. The main reason is that it’s made of cordura fabric, which is simple to take care of and very resilient. I’ve been using a notebook cover made of the same material for years, and it still looks almost new. My bag often has a lot going on, and this gives me some peace of mind.

Good product

海外旅行時にフィルムを保護するために購入しました。 正直、本当にX線から守ってくれるのかは分かりませんが、このバッグに入れて4〜5回の海外旅行に行きましたが、中のフィルムは全て無事でした。少なくとも一般的な空港のX線検査機では効果があったようです。 ただし、香港の新しいタイプのX線検査機は防げないので、その際は手動検査を依頼することをお勧めします。 これを旅のお供にするだけで、フィルムの管理がぐっと楽になり、安心して旅行を楽しめます。

Funktioniert!! Die Filme sind in der Tasche sehr gut geschützt. Es hat alles super geklappt und die Filme sind auch bereits entwickelt!! Die Tasche ist auf jeden Fall ein super Schutz für die Filme.

Great for any film photographer going through the airport/ Eurostar. You can’t always trust that I’m your hand check request will be accepted so I like to have this handy just to be safe. Great size, I managed to fit more than stated in the bag and the extra pocket on the front is great for my stickers/pens I use to label my rolls too.

X線保護のフィルムバッグです。 小ぶりなカメラバックにも良い感じに収まるサイズ感です。 飛行機に乗る際にはバッテリーの関係でカメラ関係を手荷物にするかたは多いと思いますが その際にセキュリティのX線からフィルムやメモリを保護できます。 良い感じにカメラ関係の機材っぽいルックスでセキュリティを通る際にも怪しい感じがしないし実用的です。 よく遠くにロケに出るかたは持っていると重宝します。

Works a treat - went through security and they put it through the (older style) xray machine, the ones where you need to take laptops and liquids out. You can see a dark rectangular outline where the bag is. Not recommended for the wide bandwidth xray machines that you don't take your laptop out and are capable of identifying liquids though.
