I guess the entire process of changing rolls takes me about 90 seconds, and
guiding the film down into the body requires perhaps 20-30 seconds.  I tend to
be slow and deliberate when changing rolls in order to avoid damaging anything.
Even so, last week I blew one roll of Velvia and one roll of Kodachrome by
forgetting to rewind them before changing rolls; some of the Kodachrome was
salvageable, but I tossed the Velvia.  I made the same mistake with a roll of
Tech Pan earlier, but given the low EI and the fact that I saw it quickly, I
hope to be able to salvage much of that roll.
