[OM] long auto exposures

    I'm relatively new to the list. I've been doing more reading than
writing here, because I do not have nearly the extensive OLY knowledge of
the average contributor (I've owned my Om2s for only 2 months, and that's
about the amount of time I've been involved in photograpghy, besides
mindless p&s anyway). So, at the risk of sounding like an obnoxious
beginner, here goes:

    I've read of reciprocity failure, where film, when taken at long
exposures, usually requires much more exposure then a meter calls for. I've
learned that my Om2s can take auto exposed pictures at lengths of up to 2
minutes, but wouldn't this be an incorrect exposure due to reciprocity?
Should I see how long the camera takes the picture and then multiply this
time for the specific film I'm using for the next shot? Thanks.
