This has to be the dumbest question every posted here: How do I tell if a roll of film in a canister is exposed? I was rummaging through my boxes of photo stuff and I found two 35mm film canisters. It has been at least two years since I used a canister film. I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember how to tell if it is unused film or exposed. If it helps any, there is a tag end of film strip sticking out of the canister. I'm guessing these are unused films, but I need to be sure. Help.... Phyllis in NJ

Phyllis, a good indication is if the film canister has a "tongue" of film sticking out. That may indicate it is still unused. Most cameras with auto rewind draw the exposed film completely back into the canister. But as one other respondent suggested, why not just have the films processed? Even just developed without prints will be an option to save that extra expense.
