I once did a series of shots - 36 exposures - in a darkened room except for the flickering light of a TV set. The film was TX. All I did was set the LX to AUTO and let the camera do the rest. I paid no attention to reciprocity nor did I try to adjust or compensate the exposure in any way. The result was 36 perfectly exposed frames. Exposure times were quite long ... some certainly in the area of 30 seconds or more.
