Harman Phoenix 200 is a brand-new ISO 200 colour-negative film with a real "analogue" look and feel!
This is a significant and inspiring milestone: the first-ever colour film made entirely from emulsion to cassette at the Harman technology factory in Mobberley, Cheshire and the first genuinely new colour film since Kodak Portra in 1998.
Phoenix is a quirky, experimental film that produces high-contrast images with strong, visible grain and punchy, vibrant colours. It's unlike any other colour film, and we urge all analogue colour photographers to try it.
With a DX-coded cassette and a box speed of ISO 200, Phoenix can be rated between ISO 100 and 400 but performs best in good, consistent light. On brighter days or when shooting into the light, halation is possible.
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 precisely that, from its uniquely coloured negatives to chance encounters with coating anomalies. Hold back your expectations and enjoy the experience!
