The first roll had 2 or 3 fine frames, and then nothing but a giant mash of overlapping exposure. The 2nd roll has 1 good frame, set of 5 or 6 crammed into the space of 3, then 15 crammed into the space of 4, and then 28 or so normal frames at the end. Some of the early frames are of my S.O. and would have been fine multi-exposure images of her except for the 1/2 visible frame lines in her face. And two of the best shots I've ever made of her are isolated in that mess. Seems the best shots are always on hard to print negatives. Anyway, I think that I might have tightened the film with the rewind lever part way through the 2nd roll, and wonder if that sucked the film down onto the sprockets? Also, the exposed image overlaps the sprocket holes for the first part of the film, but lines up normally for the last part. (Weird, eh?) bmw
