"my many encounters with the devil double exposure routine" :-) However, I encountered the critter just last week when a long lost roll I must have taken out, not marked, dropped back into the bag ion a hurry and unfortunately re-loaded with what appeared to be 1/2 dozen frames! :-( Did I miss anything important? Nope and my good fortune it wasn't . Reloading is a dangerous thing to do unless it's out of one body and into another within a few minutes. I just don't do it and haven't for sometime and the one of the other day was a complete surprise. We've been trying to figure out what the first double frames were and how the roll had kicked around for so long before getting re-loaded. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
