Duane Michals: Argus C3 user

[RJBender]

Have any of you Argus C3 users read the book, Duane Michals: The Photographic Illusion? The book has an excellent technical section at the end with details on how the photographs were made:
"Michals used the simple Argus C3 for many years because he could make one exposure on top of another on a single frame of film with the assurance that the images would be in perfect register."

A photograph of Andy Warhol taken with an Argus C3 is used in the book and appears on this website:

This photograph was also made with an Argus C3

This is exactly why I got a C3 myself! It's just so easy to make multiple exposures, and I had a project in mind that needed that. Unfortunately, my results probably did not equal those of Duane Michals...
