Most of the lenses I have have speed up to 1 sec only, then B and T. Is there an easy way to set long exposure time?
On the Sinar auto shutter, the speed goes up to 8 sec.

Use T with your iPhone's stop watch.

I assume you mean something that would literally keep the shutter open for only, say, 30 seconds, or maybe 4 minutes?
Then no, there isn't anything made to easily to do that.
I'm a "B" person thru 10 seconds or so.
Longer, I become a "T" person.
Either way, I use the second hand of my analog wrist watch.
I just need something slightly more than 1 sec.
I have the Sinar auto shutter on the other camera. I figure I'll use that more often.
There's a Prontor long-exposure timer / cable release that can give you settings in the range 2 to 32 seconds. Unfortunately, it tends to be hard to find, and expensive when you do come across one.
There's also the Autoknips:

What about multiple shutter snaps? Do the short snaps first, then the one second snap. There will be a problem with movement.
What about altering the aperture for a shorter exposure?

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
Actually, a long exposure is measured in hours..
I use the timer in the reciprocity timer app. With with long exposures your calculating reciprocity anyway and the timer in the app has the ability to start on noise, so as long as your not in a noisy place it will hear you trip the shutter open in T mode and start the timer.
