It's worth getting the film processed, it's surprising how little light will actually penetrate through the layers of film that were rolled round the take up spool - If you're lucky you'll only lose the pix that were across the film gate plus about 2 or 3 more from the take up spool. It all depends on how long it took your reflexes to take over as you wondered why all that film was still in the other end of the camera :-)) Best of luck!
