- The problem with running film in and out of the cassette several
- times, is a greatly increased risk of scratching the film. Especially
- since the film will be removed from the camera and stored (tongue out)
- in a random environment, the chance of collecting a sharp piece of
- dust in the felt light-trap will be high. Occasional swapping of a
- roll in semi-emergency conditions should be alright, but making it a
- simple function would encourage regular swapping and would result in
- lots of scratched film.
