 Yes, the R8 has provision for multiple exposures.  It is a lever on the
top right of the camera next to the re-wind button.  When I was on my
50th Anniv trip I had pushed the lever over the rewind button all the way
to the left, without knowing it.  I couldn't advance the film and thought
I had a broken camera!!!  The film wouldn't move.  I did finally remove
the film from the camera - exposing it all.  Later that night in the
motel I was looking through the instruction manual - sure enough I had
set the camera for multi-exposure!!

I never tried to make a multi-exposure with it - but I can tell you that
the film didn't move  at all once it was on!!!  I think it would work
just fine and stay in registration.
