Hello everyone!

    Reciprociity, in general camera photography does effect the low values
more than the highlights; that's why most manufacturers recommend decreasing
film development to compensate. The effect on lith film is much less
because of the steep slope of the D log E curve. In other words, the
difference between high and low values of what is being photographed
is much less than with continuous tone films.
