Ok. admittedly this is a very stupid question but it's out of desperation so show mercy, please.
I'm on my 2nd roll of 120 film loaded in Holga 120N and while rushing to pull it out of the bag all excited about this amazing morning light ten min ago, hinges came off and exposed the film. Camera obviously wasn't I only snapped two shots with this roll. Is the remaining ruined (not those 2)? I never shot medium format so I was hoping for miracles Desperation will do that to ya
Thank you!

It may not have all been exposed. Best to shoot the rest of it with the expectation it has been though. You never know what sort of effect you're going to get if it wasn't completely exposed.

Ohhhhh the hope! Nothing like it Thank you!

I use a think rubber band around my Holga to help prevent this from happening

A lot of the film is likely fogged, but part of the fun of the Holga is you already don't really know what you're going to get.... could be an interesting effect. Could be ruined. Who knows?

I once opened the back of my Yashica Mat before winding the rest of the roll through. The backing likely protected the middle of the image, but the bottom and top likely had some exposure.

Again, it's a Holga and accidents are expected.

Thank you all! We'll see what happens. I'll drop it off for development today. Yeah i'll tape it for sure...and I knew i should, it's just that i didn't get around to it.

Btw, I just read my original message...i typed it from my phone this morning, right after it happened and that's why it's so convoluted, sentences missing parts, etc. Thanks for understanding despite nonsensical post
