Domke Small Filmguard Film Bag for Airport Xray, Lead Lined Film Roll Case

I ordered the small size, despite seeing reviews of how it was too small. It’s actually perfect for what I was looking for! It fits 5 rolls of regular 35mm film. The padding is thick, so the quality is amazing.

I travel with three of these pouches for film and for cameras if I don’t finish a roll. TSA is not surprise to see them and seem to know why they are used. They work in a pinch if I have to send film through a scanner and I haven’t seen a roll of film with any issues yet.

Bought this because I'm tired of asking for hand check on film, and was traveling to Cambodia where the policy is no hand check, everything must go through the X-ray machine. At the security line I simply took this out of my carry on and placed in the tray next to my shoes and sent it through. The first time I warned the agent so they wouldn't think I was smuggling something in a lead lined bag, and he looked at me like I was wasting him time with the warning and just sent it through. After that I simply sent it through every time. No questions, no delays, no 15 minutes spent waiting while they individually swabbed each item... way better than hand check. Just got 30 rolls of film developed, no fogging from X-rays, no issues. Film was ISO 50, 100, 400, and Rollieflex Infrared. The large bag holds about 30 rolls of 120 film in a gallon ziplock bag. This bag is just larger than the gallon ziplock so the ziplock lays nice and flat in it. Note- Some x-rays do get through this thing, I could see on the monitor. I doubt it is enough protection to send your film through in checked luggage.

My Polaroid film and photos were kept safe in this bag on over five flights! Only one airport pulled out the bag during security and had no issues with it.

I bought this Domke film protector bag for an unconventional purpose — to store a collectable piece of Bauer Pottery from the 1930s, 40s, or 50s which has an unusually-high uranium content in its glaze (to give it the burnt orange color). Check out how much the Domke storage bag reduces the radiation levels when tested with a Geiger counter (see video). IT WORKS!!! And it is very well made as well… Background Story: I had helped my daughter do a science experiment a few years ago when she was in 7th grade. We tested typical household items — such as bananas, iodized salt, and granite countertops — for the small amount of radiation content that they may have. We also tested collectibles — like “uranium glass” (green glass) cups and plates, and Fiestaware and Bauer Pottery. The Fiestaware got a medium CPM (clicks per minute) radiation count, but the Bauer Pottery burnt orange glazed plate tested off the charts! From 1936 through 1943 it was typical for the “Fiesta red” Fiestaware (the burnt orange color) to have uranium in the glaze — up to about 14% natural uranium content. That was later changed to “depleted uranium” from 1959 to 1969 (still radioactive), and, according to our research, continued to be used in some of their products until 1973. Important: Any *modern* Fiestaware is perfectly safe and does not use uranium in the glaze. If you have vintage Fiestaware, typically only the “Fiesta red” (burn orange) glaze has higher levels of uranium (but it’s still just a fraction of the Bauer CPM levels we were getting). From what we’ve read, the “Fiesta yellow” glaze *might* have a small amount of radioactive content as well, but in our tests of vintage Fiestaware, only the “red” glaze seemed to have elevated levels. Lucy’s findings in her science report were that none of the household items (bananas, etc.) tested particularly higher than typical background radiation levels in our homes. Uranium glass got a small rise in levels; the “red” Fiestaware slightly higher still, and Bauer was quite high as you can see in our video — worryingly so! Our Conclusions: Any of the items we tested — including the Bauer — would be perfectly safe to have on a shelf or in a collectibles display if you were more than about 24 inches away. However, Lucy and I both concluded that we would not want this Bauer plate in a display cabinet, let alone eat off of it, or certainly not sleep with it under our pillow! ;^)) All of this is unrelated to the Domke storage products, but it should illustrate how the storage bag is likely to function for its intended purpose for protecting photographic film from X-rays!

Bought this to carry my film when I fly, basic case, works well

I bought this for my son for a trip overseas. THE GOOD: The bag was spacious, easy to close, and easy for the TSA agent to open. It kept his film from being fogged by X-rays and organized his carry-on, too. Nothing like having film rolling around your backpack. THE BAD: A little pricey, but it is a Domke, made in the U.S.A. It will last forever- a good trade off. OVERALL: As with all Domke products, it's tough and functional. While it costs more than some others, it's made in the U.S.A. and will last.

Ottimo prodotto, schermatura top. Misura Media molto comoda

buen tamaño y buen material

是非お薦めです。 収納度がサイコーです。

Works great. So far most airport staff are aware of this product and doesn't make a fuss when it goes through the scanner. Will request you to show them if they are required as per the airport's security requirement. If no - they'll just take a quick peek and move on.
