I stop at the nominal last frame, whether the film still advances or not.  Only
sometimes I forget and shoot an extra frame or discover that the film has run
out midway through a film advance.

I also try to rewind before opening the camera (there isn't much other reason to
open the camera, if it has film in it), but sometimes I am distracted.

I've never used any MF camera, but I'd like to try someday, when I become
independently rich.
