Long story short I accidentally opened the back of my film camera when I was fiddling with it. I closed it as soon as I processed what had happened and it rewound to 0. I took two photos on it after that. My question is what do I do now?
I’d already taken 16 of 36 photos before I opened it and I didn’t realize taking those two after would overlay it onto two of my old ones. Should I go get the film developed now? Or is it even worth spending the money since I exposed it to light and took the two photos?
Process the film as is and get the usable prints. Don’t bother trying to salvage the unexposed area, you don’t apparently have the equipment or know-how to do so.
Stop doing rhat.
Sigh and move on. Lesson learned.
There is no safe way to tell at what point the film was used and/or burned due to being overexposed. Just develop this one and get a new film. (Don’t know if are available in 2023…)
