I have just bought a Mamiya 645 Pro and put my first roll of film through it.

Issue:

Last night I went to do some night photography and when I returned home, the counter was on 8 meaning I had 7 shots remaining.

This morning, I went to the local park to finish off the roll. I took one shot of the lake (6 remaining). I then took another shot of a tree and I only heard the shutter fire once 1/250th second, (5 remaining) but no... the camera rewound the film. Hmm... had I miscounted ?

Having just developed the roll, I am shocked to see I have 6 images of the tree. What could have gone wrong ?
 
120 cameras don't rewind so you've heard 6 shots fired one after another. Did your shutter button stick?
 
That sounds like the most likely issue if you've been using a cable release.
 
Time for a test roll methinks.
