I've used Dektol in the 1+10 to 1+20 dilution (depending upon the scene). The three images currently in the Alternative Processing Images section of my website shows examples of this. These are not pinhole images, but were created through negatives that were made by projecting slides on halftone film and developing with dilute Dektol.
