Re: [APML] May Lunar eclipse camera?

[Faye and Andy Scheff <afscheff@earthlink.net>]

You can take multiple exposures on a single frame with almost any 
35mm camera.  Before you shoot the first exposure make sure that the 
film is tight in the canister by trying to rewind it without pushing 
the rewind button.  After each exposure press the rewind button, and 
'advance' the film while holding the rewind knob.  This will reset 
the shutter without moving the film.  I did this a few times on an 
old Pentax while experimenting with different daylight techniques.  I 
never had a frame ruined from film movement but then I never tried 
more than two to three shots per frame.

The most amounts of multiple exposures I took was twelve using a 
camera could take multiple shots without moving the film.  That was 
over 25 years ago so I don't remember the type of camera.
