RE: [Leica] Multiple exposures with M6?

[Austin Franklin <austin@darkroom.com>]

I was looking for a more technical explanation, but certainly, this will 
do!  I don't believe I need to try it given what you say it sounds 
like....I'd rather not find out which two gears either ;-)  Thanks.

Well try it. Load some old roll and fire off some frames. Tension the 
rewind
crank and hold it in position. Flip the rewind lever down and hold it down
as well. Now advance the shutter. Sounds and feels awful to me. Two gears
that are almost meshing fighting and slipping against each other. Long term
outlook? Poor. Just exactly which two gears they are I cannot say but I
would rather not find out. If you need to do double exposures with a Leica
rangefinder get a screw-mount. They are easy to do double exposures with.
