Film photography

[another random person]

I'd recently been given a film camera as a gift and I have purchased a roll of film for it in order for me to test the waters before plunging backwards in time to film photography. Considering the fact the film is expensive, I intend to only take a few images here and there from a roll of 36. 

 

I was wondering if it is safe to shoot with a roll of film and then keep that roll in the camera until the next shoot up to several weeks later?

Or am I meant to go through the roll of 36 as fast as possible after loading it. If so, what consequences would arise if I did leave the film in and stored the camera. 

 

I store my camera equipment in a dark dehumidified airtight container.

 

Thanks in advance

As someone old enough to remember film cameras.. You will be fine. Just leave it in dark areas. Light is the enemy.

Okay, so a few weeks to a month are fine?

It's safe, as long as light doesn't leak into the camera body to affect the roll, which 99.9999% of the time never happens unless there's some damage to the camera body like something preventing the cover from properly closing.

Okay, thank you!
