Whoops, opened too early...

I had an amazing shoot back in 2021 during which I shot two rolls of 120 film. I loaded one of them into the developing canister, as you do, and then for no reason at all opened it and looked into it.. With the freshly exposed roll looking straight back at me..
I developed the film nonetheless, and it was quite dense. I thought it was unusable and didn't even bother sleeving it. But since I recently had my GFX50s set up for digitizing 120 film, I thought to myself "might just as well give it a try". The dynamic range of the GFX50s did quite some marvels since you wouldn't think there even was much on the negatives when looking at them.
I do have to say, they do have quite a unique look to them. I'm not sure whether I'm happier to have screwed up or whether I'd prefer to have the images developed properly. Either way, I'm glad I gave the film a shot.
