Hiya!
Well, I've finally taken the plunge to get into Medium Format photography, and bought a Mamiya 645 last week. In a fit of passion and excitement, I loaded Ilford HP5 120 into a 220 cartridge, and am about 6 exposures into the roll.
I thought of this after the fact, and did a bit of reading, and have found that what I've done can damage both the shutter, and a spring of some kind.
I am wondering how I am best in dealing with what I have done. Is there a way to preserve what's already on the film, and extract the cartridge, or is the film a write-off, and I'll need to remove the cartridge and manually wnd the film off of it? Or contrary to popular belief, can I continue through the roll, and after 15 exposures, try to feel the roll complete onto the other feeder?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Dumb rookie mistake, but I was just so eager to get shooting!
Thanks!
