Subject: RE: [Leica] Intentional double exposure

Hello Noel,

This has been discussed several times. The general feeling I got for those
threads is "You do NOT want to do that to your Leica". But I may be biased. In
30 years of photography, I have still to understand the interest of double
exposures with roll-film cameras. I don't see what can't be done in the lab and
moreover with Photoshop or Photopaint in that matter.

All the best,
