Once in the camera, you do not have to keep a filter on the lens if you
don't want to.  Feel free to compose the shot without the filter, then shoot
with the filter in place.

There is a kodak pamphlet on xtol which includes data on HIE.  At 20 deg C.
the dev time is 6 min for full strength and 8.75min for 1:1 diluition.  Both
times are for a CI=.58.  Let me know by private email and I can email you a
pdf file from kodak
