double exposures on IIIF

[wizard_de_weird]

Is it possible to have double exposures with a IIIF? I remember I read it somewhere in the net that it can be done so. Anyone try it before? Reason I'm asking because I sometime forget to remove the lens cover before taking a shot.😀. It will help to cut down wasted film.

I think the shutter can be cocked without advancing the film, by turning the main shutter speed dial. Can't remember now in which direction it must be turned.

Yup, IIIf shutter can be cocked by lifting the shutter speed dial and turning it against the spring force.

Will try it out. Hopefully it won't have any undesirable impact on the gears.😛

Gabor, I recall that the dial must be lifted when changing speeds but should not be lifted when being used to cock the shutter.

Wizard, it's quite safe. Still, perhaps you should try to remove the lens cap at those times when it is desired that light enter the lens.

Mukul, thanks for clarification !
