I have to agree with Rob, I used to bracket by two stops on either side, (exposure compensation ring on the LX), and before that timed exposures with an MX. The un-compensated LX exposure is almost always the most correct.

I wasn't disputing the phenomenon of film reciprocity but indicating that given
the circumstances in which you might allow an LX to auto expose for several
minutes, there is no such thing as a technically perfect exposure and that 9/10
exposures in very low light the LX produces usable shots. I know as I've been
using an LX this way since 1987 and I'm sure others here have too.
