[net.rec.photo] Multiple Exposures

tomb@tekecs.UUCP (12/27/84)

A potential problem not pointed out yet in this
discussion is what happens when you're done with
the double (multiple) exposure and are redy to advance
the film.

At least in my Pentaxs, the pickup ISN'T IMMEDIATE.
e.g. you advance the mechanism ~ 1/2 frame before
the film moves at all. Therefore, two rules!

1) leave a blank frame between a double exposure and
the next image.


2) Tell your finisher that the film should be left
uncut or cut by hand. Explain that all images not
evenly spaced. (You should also do this if you ever
take a film out of your camera and finis it later.)


With a bit of practice, results can be excellent.
