Re: Multiple Exposures with Pentax cameras

I agree with Ray Davis in his suggestion on how to make multiple
exposures (pressing the rewind button on the bottom of the camera
body to cock the shutter without advancing the film).

In fact, on the Pentax ME Super camera (!= Program),
this is the only way (according to the Owner's Manual).

Be careful, though, to press the rewind button only once, and then
release it before operating the film advance lever.  This will insure
that the rewind button resets itself when the film advance lever is
operated.  Holding the rewind button *while* cocking the advance lever
may not allow the rewind button to reset, and you might not advance the
film on the next operation of the film advance, resulting in a triple
exposure where you only wanted double exposure.
