I take all sorts of precautions, but it seems that some pieces of film always gets some type of marks on them. Fortunately for me, I scan and print so a little scratch here or there isn't a major problem.
When shooting cut film, I put the film between some of the white stiff board the film comes with and then try to store it with a couple of rubber bands to keep the film from shifting around. Works OK. I like the idea that someone mentioned about a plastic bag without the closure. On my last trip out there this March it was incredibly windy. I'm still finding red dirt in my car. I somehow managed to keep most of my 4x10 sheets of film in decent shape. Hope you had a good time. Jim
