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

I have found that the ISO of kodalith or Arista ortho (from Freestyle) changes with different developers. It is between 3 and 6 in high contrast developers like Kodalith Liquid but the speed increases when I use a dilute Dektol. I use Dektol at 1:7 and have found an ISO of 25 to be good. You
