On a recent roll of Kodak Gold max 400:
XX,XXA,X,XA,00,00A,0,0A,1,1A,2,2A... ETC.
This is from the unexposed leader of the negatives, so there's more than
just a 0 or 00.
These were from my wife's P&S camera, and it looks like 3 frames might have
squeezed on there.
The double XX frame has to be close to the end of the leader, as only the
XXa is showing and it's half fogged :-)
Just some interesting trivia.
