Film rewound wrong way on camera

    Was out today shooting some black and white with my olympus om1 and om2, I shot a roll of 36 on the om1 and asked my girlfriend to rewind the film, anyways I say her struggling, then realized she had wound the film the wrong way, is this a problem when getting developed or is the roll of film useless?

    Did you then wind it in the right way? Was the film torn? May well be OK as long as the film wasn’t exposed or torn.

    That’s a difficult thing to do on an OM-
    I’d have thought the film will come off the spool-

    The film should be ok, ish,
    as long as it has rewound-

    Don’t open the back, unless you’re sure…

    It was fully wound, I’ll drop it into Gunns and hope for the best thanks for the replies.

    Grab someone in TCD photsoc and get them to develop it for you! – Is it B&W or color? If it’s B&W you could even post it up north to me and I’ll do it for you!
    Love developing film – that’s always been the fun part for me – when you see exactly what you got on the neg!
    But anyway – the film is absolutely fine (I’ve wound on film to reuseable cartridges the wrong way loads!) I’m not sure how they’re processed in commerical shops but I wouldn’t say it’d make that much of a difference though they probably don’t unload the film, just stick it in a machine that draws it out so they won’t even notice but yeah if you drop it into Gunn’s and tell them – it’ll be fine!
    Good luck and don’t yell at your gf!!!!
