You AE-1 users won't like this much. The best way to do double exposures is to sell your AE-1 and buy an A-1. Double exposures are done by pushing in a lever next to the film advance lever and advancing the film. The film is always very nicely registered. I don't mean to sound snobbish, but the A-1 makes such things as exposure compensation, substitute metering, double exposures etc, etc so smooth that I wonder why anyone who has Canon mount lenses doesn't get an A-1 body. It is FAR worth the extra $'s in the long run. And, note that I think it's just a good camera before you get to all the exposure mode stuff. Ah well, I guess I'm just a biased snob. David C.

For those of you who are new to net.rec.photo, please don't let Mr. Stewart turn you off. He says he's a biased snob. Obviously he's right. Most of us aren't like that. (By the way Mr. Stewart, in spite of what you may have seen in the ad's, expensive equipment isn't what makes a person a photographer.)

Expensive equipment doesn't make the photographer, it just makes it
possible to do more interesting things. Double exposures are a pain
on a camera not equipped like the A-1. However the A-1's metering
system is a royal pain for someone used to a spot meter. For my
money, the F-1 is a better investment once a person has decided to
get into photography seriously.
