The answer to both questions is - trial and error.
For development, I would start out as if it were exposed normally at the box speed - and make adjustments from there.
Try Fuji Acros - it has absolutely the best reciprocity characteristics there are. No correction needed till 120 seconds. Between 120 and 1000 (16.6 minutes) seconds, you only need +1/2 a stop of correction. Longer than that, it's going to be trial and error...
Hehe, thanks! I just checked, and the main site for analog photography products in Norway is stocked up on that film! Maybe I'll get one or two someday. I will start with Delta 100 Pro, and see what happens. This should be exciting.
One, maybe silly, question: When I note down my camera settings for each frame, do I number my notes according to the counter on the camera? How does that counter work? Fair enough, when I advance the film the counter wheel turns, but how does it compensate for any "dead advances" in the beginning of the film? I've noticed it starts on "1" after three advances after I've shut the compartment door shut.
