I'd say, Walter, based on this photograph...that quite a lot is possible with your 'old lightweights'.
A very very cool image.

Congrats to EVERYONE for 5 years!
Rather hard to believe, honestly.
I'll take a page out of Don's book for today and post a partial self-portrait ... I say "partial" as I'm experimenting with the double-exposure feature on my venerable Pentax K10d - one exposure of myself, the other of an even more venerable black walnut tree in front of my house.

I love this image, Mark - and it reminds me, once more, of what a great lens the XF35 f/1.4 Fujinon is.
I keep looking at this photograph... and liking it even more. I think it would look great printed and framed, in the middle of a white wall.
So you've tried this wonderful feature too, Miguel. I just love it and must do a series from time to time.
It's much more challenging outside in free nature against lighter backgrounds. Luckily the tree stem gave you enough dark background to let the portrait stand out against it. A good shot you got here.
Are you taking the same exposure set for both takes or do you also try variation of exposure and aperture values?

Thanks for the kind words, Miguel. Yes, I really like the Fuji XF 35/1.4. For the past 3-4 months or so, I find myself preferring my X-T4 with that lens as my take-everywhere EDC - it's a small, fast, silent, and quite capable pair that's fun to shoot and just gets out of the way. I might ocnsider making a print of this image, thanks for the encouragement 🙂

Thanks for the comment and observations, Walter.
I'm not quite organized enough to use the same exposure for both images - at least not yet. I simply set the camera in its double-exposure mode, then take the 1st shot (with whatever exposure or aperture values seem best to me at the time - and then look for a 2nd shot which might in some way have some (more sensed than accurately predicted or planned for) relationship with the first one - but using whatever exposure settings seem best to me at the time for the 2nd one. I was also vaguely aware that in one subject (a self-portrait in a mirror) the lighting and values were relatively even - whereas in the other there were extremes of illumination (between the darker tree trunk and the blindingly bright sky behind it) which really stood in contrast (pun intended) to the flatter illumination of the first. But as I said, I haven't quite gotten to the point of planning these things out - I'm simply at a simpler stage of somehow trying to find two images whose differences may create something 'interesting'.
Many many decades ago (in the late 1970's) I was lucky enough to take several workshops with the Los Angeles based photographer Edmund Teske - who among other things was known for his experimentions with both solarization - and multiple exposures. I don't think the workshops or classes I attended made me a better photographer in any way - but they opened my eyes to seeing some things in different ways - including the possibilities of combining different (and seemingly antithetical) photographs... into new images.
