Martha bought me a Konica Autoreflex TC at a tianguis (a type of bazaar), so I decided to try it out instantly with slide film to cross process. Half of the photos turned out blank because it has a problem with the film advancing mechanism; when moving the lever, sometimes the shutter goes off. )=
On double exposures, the Autoreflex TC handles very well, unlike the times I've tried to do it on the K1000. o:
How did you do the double exposure? I'm about to shoot my first roll with a konica autoreflex tc, but when I was doing some research I read that it has features specifically designed to prevent double exposures. I was still planning on trying out the usual method of holding the film rewind button while cocking the shutter, but I'd love to hear what worked for you so I can avoid disappointing results! thanks!
@mzeitz Hi. That's weird, I do it that way, holding the film rewind button, and it actually feels easier to do than with my K1000. I don't feel any extra tension. However, the TC I got has a defect: while shooting normally, after I cock the shutter, when the lever is coming back, the shutter will go off again. So, every time I cock the shutter, I close the lens, in case it goes off. If it does, I re-cock it as if doing a double exposure in order to avoid losing that frame. Maybe that's why double exposures work well with my TC, because it has something broken, haha. :s Anyways, good luck with yours, just try it like you know, and I guess don't force it if you feel the lever get too hard.
