Question for the group:
I am heading to Christchurch in mid-January and I'd love to shoot some film. A quick check (i.e. reddit) reveals that CHC security has a zero tolerance policy on hand-checking film (if it flies, it gets scanned). Are there any Kiwis here, or anyone that has traveled through Christchurch that can confirm or deny this experience? And, if it's true, does anyone have any recommendations for labs in Christchurch that can do relatively quick developing of C-41 (or, ideally black n white)?
Also, any recommendations on places I shouldn't miss? I'm planning on renting a car and driving to Wanaka/Queenstown, but I'm open to whatever (with-in reason) on the South Island.

Can't here help, Jim. Apart from my experience that with regular scanners and Iso 100-400 I have not experienced degration of quality. The CT scanners are the problem...

I can't say for sure but I wouldn't be surpirised if NZ uses similar scanners to Australia - mostly the big rectangular ones, not the round ones. I haven't had a problem yet but I mostly shoot ISO 100 film on holidays. I've also started using one of those Domke film satchels.

I use to have a couple "film safes" that protected film from airport xray machines in the 1970s. On ebay the "Hama" look the closest, but I noticed there are lead foil pouches that claim the same protection. The Hama box type seemed to be made of thick plastic, but maybe they have lead foil as well. A sure fired way would be to have the film souped while you are there, and just bring the already developed film home. Maybe you can leave a loaded camera in a lead foil pouch?
You know, NZ must have zillions of people photographing it's amazing landscapes. It looks like they treat film the same as we do. Bring it in your carryon, and have them manually inspect it.

If you can't find a lab, you could just send it back to yourself. The one-shot project camera was shipped internationally multiple times without any issues. With a little advance planning, you could probably even have film delivered to wherever you are staying.

Check those guys, they have a store in Christchurch:
https://www.photowarehouse.co.nz/
There’s also a film lab in Wanaka iirc
In terms of recommendations:
Imo skip Queenstown.
Lake Tekapo & Pukaki + Aoraki area are amazing. If the weather plays ball you can take some great shots of Mt Aoraki from near the visitor center at lake Pukaki and along the road into the national park (Peter’s lookout and later down the road, too). You need a long lens for this 100-200mm. And they are sunrise / early morning locations.
Hooker valley walk is also very nice.
Maybe too much of a detour for you, but some of the locations in Fiordland are amazing, too: Lake Marian, Key Summit, Lake Gunn, Hollyford river at Christie falls.
Here are some of my pics from NZ for inspiration (digital, sadly..): https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjB5bwn
Would love to see some of those locations on film!

A couple more from this roll of Tri-X with the Fuji Work Record. Tri-X was all I shot as a kid until I discovered Kodachrome, so when I started shooting film again a few years ago I avoided it (and it's not the same Tri-X anyway). I started shooting it again this year and I have to say I really like it. I shot this roll at box speed and developed it in Rodinal 1:50 for 13 minutes, just the right amount of grain and grit for my taste. Since Rodinal is a speed-losing developer you're usually advised to shoot Tri-X at 200 or 320 if you're going to develop it in Rodinal and I tried that but like the results better at box speed. I don't mind losing some shadow detail.

I love Tri-X! It has been my favorite B&W film since high school, which was a long time ago. Ob a different photo forum I asked about using Tri-X with Rodinal and recieved dozens of answers. The best advice was to expose the film at about half the rated box speed and gentle, infrequent agitations. The results have been generally good with minimal grain and a nice range of tones.
Earlier this year I watched a video comparing Rodinal with Rodinal Spezial and Bellini RDL. Rodinal Spezial is a different compound than Rodinal and is actually closer to HC-110. Bellini RDL is basically the same as Rodinal but contains a sulfite that helps boost shadow detail.
My bottle of Adox Rodinal is just about empty then it's on to the Bellini!
