After a recent trip, I was opening all the film containers to sort the
E-6 from the C-41 and found myself looking at a "Kodak High-Speed Infra
Red Can" in my dining room.  OOPS!  It wasn't very bright in there.  The
can was open for about 5 seconds.  The first inch or two of the film
past the leader was fogged.  No images were lost.  Hmmm....  Makes me
wonder how bad it would be in the shade on a sunny day.  I'm not willing
to try it just yet.
