No meter can properly compensate for "reciprocity failure" in as much as the curve is different for nearly every film. Fortunately, you only have to be within the ballpark and adjusting compensation for a crude estimation works very well.
"Reciprocity failure" is actually poor (though common) English for what happens. Reciprocity is a mathematical term that never fails. It is the film that fails (to follow the Law of Reciprocity). Regards, Bob... -------------------- "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that 'if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." - Samuel Adams, 1771 From: "Bill Owens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Granted, the LX meter is good, but does it compensate for reciprocity > failure during long exposures? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
