There were four frames: the first one must have been at 1/60 or faster - only the faces showed; the second one and the one I posted (#3) showed detail; and the last frame was overexposed and blurred. I always was stingy with film. When I used winders, it was frame by frame, I never held the button down and didn't use motor drives (the sound of bursts at press conferences drives me crazy). And I hardly ever bracketed with slide film - I trusted my Sekonic L-28 and my seat of the pants feeling. In the little stock shooting I did, I'd have three originals at the same exposure so they didn't need duplication. Our photo department at UWM was a frugal operation too. We bulk loaded all B&W and E6 35mm films. I could turn a 100' roll into fifteen 36 exposure and five 20 exposure rolls and have them labelled and in film cans in 30 minutes by doing all the spooling in the dark. I'd do this for Pan-X, FP4, Tri-X, and various speeds of slide film, tungsten and daylight.
