So I recently got a good condition F3HP and bought the MD-4 to go with it. Anyway, I came across info that said if you add/remove the drive with film in the camera, you will fog the film. Given that Nikon is known for their quality, this seems like a horrible engineering decision, bordering on specifically dumb if this indeed happens.
I had just loaded some HP5 and decided to take the drive off and had forgotten about the issue of fogged film. Before I scuttle a roll of Ilford, did I just fog what's across the gate (likely?) or did I ruin a whole roll? I'm going to speculate that if anything, the roll wasn't exposed to any more light than it would have been being loaded into the camera.
Thanks!
