Re: Moving a partially exposed roll of film?

Yes, of course!  I am doing it on a regular basis and for a number of
reasons:  1) test different cameras (take 2-3 pictures in each one)
2) use different films in one camera, 3) transfer the roll from my
Realist to my SLR to finish it with a few tabletops or visa versa.
4) Transfer the roll in another Realist (7p, Ektar, etc.)

Here is what I do:  Check film counter.  Say I am in number 14 in my
Realist.  That means that I am at about half the roll.  If I am going to
transfer it to another Realist I would advance 3 frames past this
one just to be in the safe side  (advancing 2 frames will get you
out of the sequence but pretty close, 3 frames is safe).  If I am
going to transfer it to an SLR I would go to frame number 20 to be
safe (I am assuming 36 exp. roll)
