The most correct way is to note the time, check the reciprocity table for the
film you are using and then open the aperture to get the additional exposure.
Adding time is just creating a problem in having to again adjust for
reciprocity. However, many will just bracket on the overexposure side, esp.
if you don't have the film data handy. Check the OM List Archives for some of
this reciprocity info, if necessary. There is probably enough in those
Archives for a reissue of The Olympus Way!
