Hi Ron,
This is interesting, since your exposure is determined by an OTF metering
system which presupposes the density and reflectance of film to get the
correct exposure times (or so I thought). One would think you might get
over-exposures. If not, perhaps the somewhat longer times doing OTF
exposures without film help check the potential of reciprocity failure?
Have you ever done this technique with film in the OM-4T?
