Development time is, about 1 minute or 1.5 minutes. I was told to keep the
development time low and consistent. You may want to read a book by a woman
named Bea Nettles called the Photo Cookbook. It has a section about pinhole
and ortho film.

If You develop your ortho film for too long you will get a higher contrast
neg. It depends on what you want. I am currently using some of the ortho
litho film from Freestyle - pre cut into 3.9x4.9 sheets. This is item number
#519-44. I use this film for 4x5 work. You can also use Agfa neutol plus
diluted 1 to 20 - it is supposed to yield similar results to the dektol. I
like neutol as you only have to add water to the premade chemistry. Hope this
helps. ----Wendy
