Wound on the film too much...and snapped it!
I've just bought a Yashica GSN rangefinder, my first film camera, and have made a very newbie mistake.After finishing the 36th exposure I kept on advancing the lever, since this is what you do with disposable point and shoots. Obviously this was a bad idea, and I now realised I've snapped the film out of it's cannister and it's now wrapped around the right hand spool of the camera. Is there any way I can rescue the film? And yes, I have opened the back of the camera in low light to see what was going on (I know, I know) :(

Well..... first off you shouldn't of opened the back, but you already know that. The negative on the outside might be exposed, the the inside might be ok. Take the film, camera and all to a processor. They will take the film out of your camera inside the black tent, so no light will enter. Prior to you opening the camera, the film was very much savable..... not sure now.

Thanks Natalie- of course the added problem is how to explain all of this to the staff at a Korean photo processor, when I don't speak much Korean! We shall see..

thanks for the help on this folks- I only ended up losing a few exposures, and have learnt a valuable lesson.
