Tim: Once I was shooting figure studies in a ghost town near Ouray. I
was in this old building, pretty dark interior. So I thought I'd test
out subdued light loading. With my N90, I can load very quickly. The
roll was out of the can for perhaps 5 seconds until camera back was
closoeod. Even then, I lost 5 or 6 frames. So you really do need
darkness. I have a $15 changing bag that I've never lost a frame with,
even on sunny days.
