HARMAN Phoenix 200 is a brand-new ISO 200 colour negative film with a real ‘analogue’ look and feel!
This is the first ever colour film made entirely from emulsion to cassette at the HARMAN technology factory in Mobberley, a significant and incredibly exciting milestone.
This quirky, experimental film produces high contrast images with strong, visible grain and punchy, vibrant colours. It’s unlike any other colour film.
Phoenix can be rated between ISO 100 and 200 but performs best in good, consistent light, you may wish to err on the side of over-exposure in more difficult scenes. On brighter days or when shooting into the light there is a possibility of halation.
Getting the exposure right will help to get the best results so we suggest metering 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 coating anomalies. Hold back your expectations and enjoy the experience!
