someone who knew leicas was watching me take a series of photographs
and later asked me "is that a double-stroke?"  the camera in question
was an m6.  without even realizing it, i found out that i do tend
to advance the film in multiple small strokes, so as to keep my eye
on the viewfinder for the next shot.  but i also allow for a long 
leisurely full throw when i just know i nabbed the shot. :-)
