First image with the Shen Hao that I recently bought from @super_claret. A view of the Letcombe Brook as it passes thought the Letcombe Valley nature reserve.

Fomapan 200, Developed 9:00 at 20°C in Ilfotec HC 1:31.
Fujinon 135mm, f/16, 1/15s, no filter.

You've tamed the Foma contrast nicely

It's worth trying a green filter when there's a lot of foliage, it really helps with the details.

I've never really had a problem with the contrast on Foma film using Ilfotec HC, a developer I use for most films and situations unless there is a very good reason to use something else.

As it happened I did also take one with a green filter, from a different direction (down to the left of the original).

Same development and lens, 1/4s, f/11.
To me it doesn't work as well, but that is probably more about the composition of the shot than the filter choice (should have been more to the right and a longer lens—I did have the 150 with me).

Good to see you are making use of the camera James and thanks again for the purchase.
