What was the reason behind the special permission for the film? Did it count towards your personal belongings weight allowance? Or was it something else?

ISO 800 film was not flown to ISS for long duration missions due to cosmic ray fogging (remember, this was only the 6th mission to station). I asked the photo folks and they happily flew some for me.
