    Re: Reciprocity formulas (for Ilford films)

    There was a simple one, I think it was on darkroomagic.com, that showed a couple films and then a column for conventional films. I've used that with success, it even shows the approximate effects on contrast, as in N+x. I think it was Ralph Lambrecht's site. The site is no longer, it would appear.

    Re: Reciprocity formulas (for Ilford films)

    I found a great formula that works everytime, not sure if anyone else has posted it yet but here goes: 1.7 multiplied by metered time
    plus .12 multiplied by metered time squared= corrected time, this formula works like a charm for me
    "WOW! Now thats a big camera. By the way, how many megapixels is that thing?"

    How does one post excel spreadsheets (.xsl files). I have a S.S. that was based on some formula that I read about on APUG. It gives me good results.

    As StoneNYC says - forget it. Just get my App! :-)

    I wish this discussion had been around when I started developing Reciprocity Timer 3 years ago.

    This is the formula my app uses for Delta 100 and for HP5+

    e = (0.51 * (m^1.62)) + m

    where e is actual exposure and m is measured.
    This is based on the Gainer/Bond Method as outlined in the article linked in the first page.
    This yields times very close to Ilford's official charts.
