HARMAN Phoenix 200 is a brand-new ISO 200, C41 colour negative film and the first ever made entirely from emulsion to cassette at Harman's Mobberley, Cheshire factory, a significant yet incredibly exciting milestone - and the only colour film now produced in the UK !
High contrast and strong, visible grain are just some of its unique traits that help to produce characterful, unmistakeably analogue, results unlike any other colour film.
With a box speed of ISO 200, the recommended rating for HARMAN Phoenix is between ISO 100 and 200 depending on the scene brightness and contrast range. It performs best in good, consistent light and on brighter days or when shooting into the light there is also a possibility of halation.
It delivers punchy, vibrant colours although they react differently to different scanners and settings. Getting the exposure right will certainly help to get the best results so meter for the mid tones to retain shadow or highlight detail (over or under exposure is not Phoenix’s friend)!
Part of the fun of shooting film is expecting the unexpected and this film delivers exactly that from its uniquely coloured negatives to chance encounters with occasional coating anomalies. Hold back your expectations and enjoy the experience !
