Re: Cannon A-1 Pinhole

 Aperture priority will work, and a quick and easy method to deal with any reciprocity is to do a few things, first, half your ASA rating on your camera and shoot merrily while you smile. Additionally, If you are shooting B&W you can use a more efficient or compensating developer in the processing. Rodinal at a dilution of 1:100 will deliver superb negatives for pinhole, as its compensating action keeps the highlights from being blown out. Some will scoff and say that Rodinal is not a developer for film speeds above 100 ASA, I heartlily disagree. My most luminous negatives have been made with Neopan 400 developed in Rodinal at 1:100.
Acufine and Diafine are two examples of efficient developers for underexposed or weak negatives. Timing is more critical in the development stage, in the case of Acufine too much development will severely block up your negatives.
If you are really worried about reciprocity, try a chromogenic film, say Ilford XP2 super and shoot it aperture priority set at ASA 100. I have tried this with zoneplate negatives on my nikon and the images were superb! All that and I could run it through the local 1-hour.

understand you correctly. there doesn't seem to be any reciprocity failure
within the 30 second exposure time limits. I haven't tried longer.
