Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.

E.g., for audiophiles: don't buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don't buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

To add to the film thing: if travelling with film, keep it in carry-on bags and ask for hand checks. Film gets exposed by the radiation from machines at checkpoints; the higher the ASA, the more it'll get ruined. 400+ will for sure be destroyed by a scan or two.

I ruined 4 rolls of the best street photography I've ever done from a trip to chicago because I didn't know about it.
