OK, likely to be one of the last boxes in captivity, with an expiry date of over 15 years past, and not freezer stored...

The question is even if it is it worth the effort to travel with it to experiment with, how do I manage it not going through the carry-on x-ray machines in Toronto, JFK, and Johannsburg? Is that even possible possible, or I am better leaving it at home? Oh, the box is factory sealed and not been opened, if that makes any difference...

Quick bit of background. Travelling regularly to Africa and purchased an old 5x7 Color Karden with a 4x5 reducing back. One of the individuals working with has strong and active interest in photography, but mainly using digital, so trying to bring him over to the dark side... The Polaroid is to provide him with some immediate feedback on the use of the LF camera.

Shipping to Africa is a problem, and I sent an e-mail earlier today to have someone else chase some training material sent via UPS.

I did do a search, but did not see any addressing high ASA / ISO film like the 3000ASA type 57.

Thoughts, recommendations, and comments welcomed.
