Reciprocity calculator

Long exposures need more time than the meter says. This uses each film's own datasheet: a formula when the manufacturer gives one, its table otherwise. Nothing is extrapolated past the published times.

Calculate

Metered 30 s

1 min 26 s

  • Same as opening up 1.67 stops (by time)

From the datasheet formula Ta = Tm^1.31.

Ilford HP5 Plus: datasheet values

No correction from 1/10000 s to 1/2 s.

Beyond that: Ta = Tm^1.31 (Ta = time to expose, Tm = metered time, in seconds).
