    XA (x3) double exposure (in response to zx9)





    Don't ask me how I did these - it was probably the diabolical film loading on these superb little toy XA cameras. Anyway these are in response to zx9 excellent efforts showing how it should not be done.

    OK I give in, only a toy camera can be used Soooooooooooooooo artistically, but why pretend it was accidental?

    Seriously it was accidental. I wound the film on about ten exposures and it jammed due to not engaging the spool correctly. So instead of throwing the film I just rewound it, reloaded the film, then continuing shooting. Obviously I did not wind it on enough. This was the second time I have had this problem. I am now more careful

    I think it is time to get that other toy camera out the Lubitel 2 TLR or maybe a Smena

    Not doubting you, just a bit odd there's no frame overlap.

    Did not notice that. I always use the first hole in the film to engage the spool on the XA.

    I liked the last one because it was photographing a photographer.

    That's before the accident. After you take what you are given!
    The double image is a meaningless mess.
