The longest I have managed succesfully was around 10 minutes. I haven't had the need to go longer than that with 35mm anyway. The LX meter is prone to underexposure at long times and high ISO speeds though. I think it must be something to do with the sensitivity of the rectifier. Reciprocity is over rated. Set the exposure compensation to +1 stop or so. Some experimantation is required to pin it down perfectly, as some films respond better than others to longish exposure times. The nice thing is that the degree of failure is generally consistent, so once you have a film pinned down for an expossure range, it is repeatable. William Robb
