I've found that the flashframe effect in this set of plugins is fairly convincing: http://www.mattias.nu/plugins/ Not exactly like the real thing but pretty close and quick to render. Also contains some other really useful filters.

I've shot both tape and film on the London Underground. I metered most of the carriages at about 32 footcandles, and platforms at about 8 footcandles - just a guide of course, but fairly low light. We telecined the 7218 I shot and had no problems getting a decent exposure with available light. HD material needed to be "pushed" a little in the grade. Hope this helps.
