Quickload film inserted wrong way

Hi
I inserted and exposed a quickload the wrong way, is this still usable, or is it now damaged and wrongly exposed. I realised this as soon as I pressed the shutter.
Can i use this film again, or it badly exposed and now unusable. Any experience or tips.

As long as you didn't withdraw the envelope, the film should be fine; otherwise, I doubt whether the film is going to be of any use as it will have been exposed, albeit through the film base.

Why not expose it the correct way round as an 'extra' when taking another shot and process it as normal.
Then you have your an answer if it ever happens again, for the price of processing one sheet of film.

Hi Issa, if it has already been exposed then it's useless, bin it or keep it as a demo QL, you'd be surprised how many people ask to see how they work. I recently used one of my duff QL's to demonstrate how they worked in a Polaroid 545 holder.
