Hello!!
I recently bought some Adox Ortho 4x5-inch film (B&W), but I’m not quite sure how to develop it, as I’ve never developed this format before and don’t have any precise technical details on the development times. :ph34r:
Could any of you give me a tip?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards, Aleksa

Hi Aleksa,
You should be able to develop an ortho film by eye using a dim red light. If you think it looks right, pop it straight into the stop bath. It doesn’t get much easier than that with ortho film :-)
Best regards,

Hello Aleksa,
You should definitely decide beforehand whether you want a high gamma (well above 2), e.g. for reproductions, or a more natural look (gamma 0.5–0.7).
