I don't know what the long term consequences might be, but someone has
been using his Minolta Dual II turned 90 degrees so the film holder is
vertical to avoid this problem. He told me he was doing this for a while.
The other consideration is a self-styled hood to protect the film that
is sticking out from dust falling on it.
