This is a flexible lead composite bag that does what it says - protects 400 and 800 ISO film from x-ray damage. It is roomy enough for about 10 rolls (IN their protective case it comes in). No need to put your camera in the bag if it has no film in it. In fact, many companies recommend you FINISH your last roll of film BEFORE getting on the plane. Therefore, shoot the last few pics and place the film in here.

This is a must have if you want to be extra careful that you wont lose those great holiday photos.

I stuffed this full of 10 rolls of ISO 400 35mm film for a trip to India. After six or seven x-rays (some of them high-dose) the film all survived completely unaffected.

I bought this bag in hopes that my professional grade film would be preserved during international travel. All of my film was exposed to airport x-rays regardless of the protective shield this bag was supposed to provide. I used 200-800 speed films and that was within the range of what should have been protected. I suggest you look for someting else, as it is heartbreaking to come home from and unforgettable trip and have foggy pictures that are hardly worth showing to family or friends. This bag was a waste of money and caused me much grief.
