Hello Fabrice!
Now there is a big problem. MZ-M does not allows multiple exposure but the
kind of experiment you have suggested can be done with bulb mode. The
extra labour that I have to do is cover the lens occasionally with a black
cloth. I can not use the lens cap because it disturbs the position of the
camera.
Anyway, many thanks for such a creative suggestion. It could be worth
trying out.
Cheers,
Ayash Kanto.
