I bought 800 speed film while at home, when I flew back to school in Seattle I forgot about the film in my purse and it went though the x-ray. I had two new rolls and one used roll. Is the film blank?

It’s very possible :(

Get the used one developed to see if anything survived.

*To the comment below, and for other readers who may have missed: Airport X-Rays are fine for anything UNDER ISO 800. If your film is 800 or faster, you will may have some serious problems and/or fogging and/or blank film.

  1. jacque said: Doubt it will be blank. At worst, a bit of clouding and/or banding. Now, if it went through the x-ray machine that all the checked luggage goes through… then it’s screwed. The x-ray scanner for carry on isn’t nearly as powerful.
  2. rikta said: I dont think so, most x-ray machines in airports or train stations dont affect film anymore. Your film just might be perfectly okay.
