Photo development assistance needed
 
Hi - I am a kiwi living France and want to send 30 rolls of film back to NZ for development, as its incredibly expensive to develop film here. I want to get an x-ray bag to send the photos home in, but cant find one anywhere. I can buy one over the internet from the US, but the shipping is very expensive.

Does anyone know where I can get an xray bag from either the UK (as I have famil there) or France or order and deliver relavtively inexpensively over the internet?

Thanks
Jason

Hi jason, the Xray issue :(

ok its hand held the Xray machine is NOT strong enough to damage!

hold baggage they do use much stronger and it can fog your prints :(

wrapping them in aluminium foil can save that, but it'll black out on Xrays :( better to send them marked clearly as 'photographic material' and shielded!

I know Jessops Uk used to sell Xray safe bags and packs

www.jessops.com

I know kodak france is now gone :( but fuji are still quite good? is it specialised stuff you dont want and auto lab goofing up?
