24 exposure film? That's a good hit rate!

Agreed - good hit rate, some nice images there. Some of the scans look a bit washed out - how are you scanning these?

Some nice shots there.

Assuming it's an 800 ISO? Ilford by any chance? I miss using film.

Re 'triple exposure' - presumably this camera allows you to cock the shutter without winding on?

It was meant to be a double exposure but went wrong some how and I think its a trick by holding the button you use to wind the film when your done so that you can cock the shutter without winding.

I used to do a lot of B/W film stuff a few years ago, and found a couple of films I took of my friend's band in Italy. Because of the silly low light conditions and my hatred of flash I was shooting with 3200 ISO film to get decent exposure times in nightclubs or as it was in this case, in a town square half way up a mountain.

The bit I love about film is that once the shot is taken you don't see it again until it turns up in an envelope a few weeks (or years!) later. I'd completely forgotten I'd even had my camera with me on this particular trip so it was lovely to see all of the memories again. Here's my favourite shot from that roll.
