RE: [Digital BW] OT: metering for long exposures..

One word (OK, two): Black Cat

I carry a Pentax spotmeter and a LunaPro most of the time, but this thing
never stays at home.  Reciprocity failure compensation is built in to the
readings.  Of course, some bracketing is necessary.  If you use TriX, it's
going to be difficult to get too much light on the negative.  You'll
probably get times much longer than 10-15 seconds, but then you use the bulb
setting and a cable release.

Subject: [Digital BW] OT: metering for long exposures..


Sorry for the way off topic, but can't find any info on this..
I've got an old Nikon F2 that only goes up to 2 second exposures but
heard that it's possible to meter for up to 10-15 second exposures.
Does anyone know how to do this?  I've got a night shoot coming up
and this could really come in handy.
I don't have a light meter, but could get one if necessary.

Thanks for the help!
