well, there is a way to be sure on the spot, if you have a capable enough digital camera. set the ISO the same, set aperture priority and see what happens, if your camera can expose that long. then use your film, accounting for any reciprocity failure. i'm limited to 8 seconds so i can't do these types of exposures, but i shoot fireworks that way. as someone else pointed out, the LX would do it right without help.
