Thanks to WhoEver sent me the hint about multiple exporsures with the M6.
(I accidentally deleted the message header)

However, I tried it and it does not work. I can turn the rewind lever but it
is forced up again, when I cock the shutter. When I used more force to hold the
rewind level it made an awful noise - and I released the lever at once.
Perhaps it is a version problem?
My M6 has the serial number 1794161 and is marked with "Leica" not "Leitz" on
the front.
Did anyone else try to multiexpose with the M6?
