Hi Guys, OK here's one way to make this work like a dream. :-) Well OK sometimes. :-) Motor driven Leica R with the film advance button locked down right under the advance leaver. Camera obviously on good solid tripod. ASA worked out for whatever number of exposures you wish to make.You do that by picking an ASA higher than what film you have in the camera. Divide by whatever it takes to get the correct reading as though you haven't pushed the film. If you pick 1600 for an ASA 100 film you shoot 4 frames ticky ticky ticky ticky one on top of the other without the film going anywhere and you don't touch the camera itself, but use a cable release. Or if you live dangerously as I do, you gently touch the motor drive release 4 times! In other words the film is pushed 4 stops 100 to 1600:100- (200-400-800-1600.) Now that's film camera R8 and not digital. As I don't know how the digital camera, any of them would work in laying a bunch of exposures one on top of each. Or in correct terms, making a multiple exposure on the same frame! If you do this with a zoom lens it becomes quite wild as each frame is made you very slightly adjust the zoom to bigger or smaller coverage, shoot, do it again. Until you've exposed the correct number of times. Now if I could only find some flower stuff I shot several years ago using this method I'll post them. The real secret to this is figuring out the ASA to numbers of exposures required for an overall correct exposure. Trust me, one can make all kinds of neat effects with this type of exposure playtime. ted -----Original Message----- From: leica-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:leica-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of wildlightphoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 5:40 AM To: leica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Interesting Effects - Multiple Exposure Bob Adler <rgacpa@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The camera was as welded as I could make it.

Despite the smaller film size I'm thinking a Leica-R with winder or motor drive might produce sharper results. The camera can be set to multiple exposure mode on the winder, and the winder advances the film. All you touch during the series of exposures is the distant end of the cable release.
