Having been set firmly on ASA64 for years, the ASA dial on mine became
intermittent and would occasionally shoot into the over-exposed region. If
it did that when I pressed the button, the result was a dark slide. A few
twists of the dial effects a temporary cure. The effect I noticed was
definitely reciprocity - exposure and indicated reading matched at 0.5 and
1.0 sec.
