Very useful reply. To me, Lina Bessanova’s recent airport test was a big eye opener due to her comparisons of non-scanned film vs. X-Ray’d vs. CT scanned film. I am considering to buy & get film processed locally when traveling but it will require so much more planning.

Very extensive airport X-Ray and CT scanner test with many, many rolls of film. Apparently, CT scanning of film should be avoided like the plague. A super interesting watch, I find. youtu.be/oRlReCTzDV8?si=Gscq… #filmphotography #believeinfilm

New hand luggage scanners in Fiumicino Airport, Rome, Italy, are marked “No Film Safe”. I asked staff what to do when traveling with film. They explained that they will hand inspect film upon request.

I was convinced I'd made several self-portraits with my Hasselblad. It was one of the reasons I got the 205FCC (electronic self-timer) after the 503CW. But there don't seem to be any in my archive.

Ektar 100. I mainly shoot landscapes. In reality, however, my usual film dealer has fewer and fewer colour emulsions available, often sold out, never mind prices. If colour becomes unavailable, my interest in #filmphotography and owning all those cameras will be very limited.
