Switch to second body, continue captering activities. A momentary > lull good time to change film. Pop open camera and "SURPISE!!!!!!!!!" You > open the back of the wrong camera! Exposed film is sitting there in your > face on the take-up spool! :( > This is what happened to me in Madagascar 3 weeks ago. After photo-hunting birds for quite a while, I took a break and relaxed a bit - Picking up the R6.2 on my shoulder, taking it easy in rewinding and getting the film out. Closed the door and let it hang on my shoulder again. Slowly fetched a new roll of film from my camera bag. Pick up the camera hanging down from my neck. Open the back. BINGO. I picked up my R8 my mistakes..... &^%&^%#%*&^#@&. Moral learnt: My cameras need a smarter photographer. I need to have my eyes and head examined. Good day. :-)
