Hi Dante,  "me young son," ;-)

In the good old days of only Speed Graphics for newspaper photographers we
banged through that kind of film lots of times on major assignments and if
you had a double exposure we were docked a few dollars for blowing 2 sheets
of film!

So to say the least one did not have very many "double exposed sheets!"  But
I'd much rather have the Leica's of today to lugging around the old Speed
Graphic with it's 12 sheet film magazines and two extras in big sagging
jacket side pockets .
