Hey guys.
I'm really new to film and was handed down an old Nikon FG.
I took maybe 15 pictures on a roll a few months ago. One of the pictures I wanted to give a Christmas present this year so I went to go get it developed. When I was taking out the film, I thought I had rewound it, but I had actually wound it to the beginning again, so when I opened the camera the film was still in place. I freaked out, closed it up and wound it the other way. I didn't want to make it worse (if I still had a chance at that point) so I took it to a local lab to get them processed.
I explained what happened to the guy there and he took it back to the darkroom to remove it.
They developed them and I only got 2 photos out of it. One of them was half washed in white, I assume from me opening the back of the camera. Of course, neither picture was the one I was hoping for.
I'm devastated for sure. It was a really special picture I was hoping to salvage out of this.
I know there's probably nothing I can do, but I thought I'd ask people who know what they're talking about.
Is there any worth in getting the roll processed somewhere else? Like a second opinion on how many could have been saved? Or do I trust that there's nothing to be done?
Thanks for your time.
