Did finish the first roll with the Yashica T4.
(Spot) meter-and-reframe method seems to have worked; I shot on slide film, and 90% are exposed great.
I kept shooting until the display said "38" - when it wound on after shot 37 it sounded like it's having a bit of a hard time,
so I didn't take another, pressed rewind-button, waited until it finished and frame counter showed "0",
opened the back, and voilá - like 15cm of film wasn't wound back into the catridge!

Is this normal?
Does it only rewind 36 frames, even if you shoot more?
(Why? So you can choose to leave the leader out for home-dev?)
I'm confused; the T4 Super manual above says the camera just automatically rewinds when it's done like most do.
