Re: [APML] The frustrations of a half-exposed film

Look at it this way:
Roll of film = £2.50 (ish)
6 hours imaging = blood, sweat, tears & frozen fingers (and you don't know
how your guiding/focus is).

Get it developed asap and put in another roll of film.

If they come out great then you've wasted half a roll of film but got some
greatphotos. If you have some problems, you've avoided another 4 imaging
sessions at 6 hours each wasted.

Does that make sense?
