    That number will also depend on the length of the film roll you are using. 12, or 24 could also be the end. Usually you’ll feel there isn’t tension on the winder anymore (it’s a soft tactile feeling that you notice after having shot film a while).

      I remember when the sizes were 12, 20 and 36, then the 20 was replaced by 24, and the 24 on the frame counter was often in red. On much older cameras, it’s the 20 that will appear in red.
