Response to Terrified about x-ray damage to my film...any advice?

I have been to Turkey, but it was about 5 years ago. I shot mainly slide film, ISO 400. I carry all my film on, and carry it in a lead bag. I have had no problems with fogging from the CARRY ON MACHINES. They would NOT hand inspect when I was there. There is no way you can carry on 500 rolls of film.

With B&W I would either process it myself or have it processed locally. Otherwise you will lose image data due to the time between exposure and processing.

With a changing bag and a tank or two, some bottles and some chemicals, you can do it yourself. Or in the major cities there will be labs that can do the work for you. Realize Turkey is a modern country, they have electricity and running water and all that stuff.

AFAIK FedEx does not xray packages, but check the price first, the shipping costs may be VERY high.
