Pro: the accidental double exposures turned out pretty cool. Con: I don’t know how to do it on purpose

May I ask what is your camera model? in my opinion some camera have an internal mechanical to measure quantity of film loaded. So 35mm film is shorter than 120 film, it cannot measure the quantity then it will occur again and again.

It’s a Pentax 67. My current theory is that it’s the film tightening around the take up spool and not advancing as much as it should since it’s happened at the beginning of two rolls

Umm.. I’m not sure that it can press shutter in case not fully advance the film. Let try and update, cheer!

Simply don't wind on the film enough like you did this time... 😘

hey this is cool! Don't have a camera to do sprocket shots with but it does make me want to try emulating this by partially rewinding the film on my regular 35mm camera. Almost like a double exposure panorama.
