Subject: Re: [Leica] FULL MOON - double exposure

The first Kodak pamphlet on photography i ever read in the 60's had a thing on a
guy that would shoot a whole roll of film with the moon at the top of the frame
and with a longer but not real long lens.
He would then reshoot the roll putting different things in the foreground but
would have that moon in there for "interest."
I think they should just sell you film  preexposed that way for that spare
Hasselblad back, the moon back. For those boring night shots which need interest.
But don't get me wrong I'm all for the moon. But I'd like to fill the frame with
it and not overexpose. What would it take a 500 or even a 1000mm lens?!
