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

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?
