Thanks! But a lot can go right so it all depends if you are a half full or half empty type. This one was >40minutes using aperture priority with the LX of a night shot of Hoover Dam on Kodak Ektar 100.

I'm confident they're using hand-holdable shutter speeds most of the time.
A tripod can be used even if I using motion stopping speed too. Keeps me in the same reference point.
Originally posted by ChrisPlatt Indeed! Many camera models have AE exposure lock; few have long time AE capability...
Actually the LX is the only one that I am aware of that can do this and I certainly appreciate - and utilize, that unique ability too!

In my use that would preclude the use of real time monitoring and adjusting for lighting changes of the scene. This is of course my preference so for that purpose the LX truly is the finest ever made by anyone, anywhere . . . to date . . .
