More of an experiment than anything. I metered for the temple and got a reading of EV2! Putting the temple on zone 5 gave me a shutter speed if 4 seconds at f5.6. Compensating for reciprocity gave an exposure time of 22 seconds. There’s some strange halo effects, but these may be due to shooting through double glazed windows!!
Pentax MX, Pentax-M 135mm f3.5 at f5.6 and 22 second exposure. Fomapan 100 at box speed LC29 at 1:29, 21C for 8.3 minutes

I just bought a Canon AE-1 and I've been studying videos on how to use it. The only thing that confuses me now is the light meter so I think I'll trust the Sunny 16 rule when outside and refer to an app when indoors.
@RodneyTrotter1 I believe the AE-1 has a shutter priority mode (you select an aperture and it will decide on the correct shutter speed). Using this automatic mode as a starting place may help?
