Why have all negatives been exposed to one frame? 35mm
I recently shot a roll of kodak 200 (36 exposures) and got them developed on the high street and all 36 shots have been exposed onto one frame, shown on the attached image; all other 35 frames are blank. What could have caused this? I loaded and unloaded the film as usual but am using a borrowed K1000. This isn't the first time this has happened so could really do with some ideas as to why this happens.
cheers!

Is the frame counter working? It seems that the film is not advancing - but I'm wondering, are you simply stopping and rewinding the film after 36 frames?

Have you checked the camera manual to confirm you are correctly loading and winding the film?

As an aside, it's remarkable that you exposed one frame 36 times and still got a discernible image(s) out of it!

Well, it seems obvious that the film did not advance between shots. Whether that's because of user error (film not installed right so it didn't catch on the advancing mechanism) or a hardware issue with the advance mechanism not working properly can't really be determined without more information and/or inspection of the camera...
Try taking a couple shots with the back open and no film in, and watch the takeup spool when you operate the film advance lever to see if it looks to be operating correctly. Assuming that particular model allows that, anyway - might need to locate and defeat a microswitch or two to make the camera think the back is closed and/or there's film installed. I'm not familiar with that model, so I don't know...
