Double exposures can be done for any camera by following the following steps: 1. Use the rewind know to tighten the unexposed film in the can. 2. Take shot one. 3. While holding the rewind knob, press the rewind button (the button which disengages the film transport) and work the wind lever to cock the shutter. I know that it sounds as if you need three hands but, on most cameras, it will work. The film may move slightly -- you'll have to check each camera (and make sure the film is really tight) -- stpe 1.

In doing step 3, winding so as to cock the shutter, some cameras will reset the rewind button, and if you try to hold that button ( sometimes lever also, Leica M3 ) down, either you can break it, ruin the gears or jam the cocking mechanism. This pro- cedure may turn out to be very expensive ( repair costs ) and time consuming ( time you spend without you camera ) . Jorge OchoaLions ihnp4!arizona!jorge
