Camera: ELINKON 535

Lense: MINAR-2 f=35mm 1:3.8
Film: Wallmart SUPERIA 400 (double-exposure)
Develop: Caffenol-C (20 minutes)
Scan: Wolverine (mode: colour 35mm)
Edit: LR5 (-1.5EV)

1. The film came with a batch of compact that i bought from an ebay seller.

2. I did not realise that the film had been exposed earlier unless the film leader was rolled inside.

3. I loaded the film, a Fuji SUPERIA 400 but with Wallmart word on the canister.

4. This Elincon had some sort of stuck winder on the second stroke as you rolled the wheel.

5. The counter ran over 24 shots almost 28 then i decided to open the back (in the dark off-course) afraid that the film had not been advancing properly or at all.

6. The film was advancing in a good roll but i estimated may be 6 to 8 frames are still not exposed.

7. Nothing to shoot and curious how a well expired film would do once developed i rewinded the whole length back into the canister.

8. I decided to DO in caffenol being the last one was a failure for a colour roll.

9. The negative came-out dense may be of over developed from suggested 15 minutes to 20 minutes but this timing was based on the earlier black and white negatives which came out good.

10. The exposure had been pulled about +1.5 stops and some were +2.0 stops.

11. Then only that double exposure came out except the last 6-8 frames which i left it 'unexposed'.

12. Even the last frame was cut short for film extension just in-case needed for recoiling another film later.

13. The control of the set-up of the camera was taped to fix everything at f5.6, mid-distance focus and 400 box speed no matter what subjects that came to being shoot.
