>>3637116>but hp5 is just as much as a fight to get low mids and shadows where I want.How come? Did you try pulling?
HP5+ is not high contrast to begin with (i.e. has lots of latitude), and keeps tons of detail in the shadows when you pull. You could even shoot it straight against the sun and keep details both in the sky and in the shadows, when pulling (picrelated).
>Will I get more just a little more range before it goes to black?Nah, Fomapan 400 is similar to HP5+, only a little bit slower and more "contrasty" in most developers. If you have HP5+ already, try pulling 2 stops maybe? But I think it's overkill, can't imagine what kind of contrast you have in your scene that 1 stop of pulling isn't enough.
