The LX metered the scene at 4 seconds at f4 (and a Pz-1p metered it at 3 seconds) -- by my math the exposure should have been ~2 minutes at f22.
I'll be interested to see if the images come out -- I did do some available light macros with the LX last week, using a Kiron 100 f2.8 macro at 1:1, f32 and 80mm of extension on ISO 200 slide film - and they were exposed perfectly. I was't paying attention to how long the exposures were, though...
(Good thing too since I probably would have shifted to manual and bollixed it all up...)

True...so maybe we're seeing the difference between total darkness and mostly-darkness?
Maybe the camera's "smart" enough to give up after a couple of minutes
if it isn't getting any exposure?
