Several on the LUG have done this, but it was confirmed some time ago that damage could be done to the re-cocking mechanism even when one is careful. Best recommendation? Don't do it. Hopefully this may save you some repair costs before they happen. Yep, I know the pictures looked great, but it's the camera that is of concern, if you screw it up you wont be able to make any exposures, let alone double exposures. :) A word of caution my friend. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
