Yes, yes...I did it...on a wedding shoot...after only about 40 years of
using cameras and 40 years on and off of using rangefinder Leicas....and
not only did I do it with the camera loaded, I did it with the camera
loaded with Delta 3200 rated at 3200....and...

....other than a very small band along the bottom edge of at most, 15%
of the roll, and about three slightly fogged, but probably printable
images, everything is fine.....

Lessons learned....THIMK before opening the damn camera..;-)....And
NEVER toss out a roll that has been "ruined" that way...
