Harman Phoenix 200 – 120 Medium Format Colour Film

Description

Harman Phoenix 200 – 120 Medium Format Colour Film is an experimental ISO 200, C41 process, colour negative film with high contrast and strong visible grain.

It can be used for any photographic subject with results dependent on ambient lighting conditions, colour palette, and exposure accuracy. Best results are typically obtained outdoors with consistent light and medium brightness scenes whilst metering for the mid-tones.

HARMAN Phoenix’s high contrast can lead to punchy, vibrant scene rendition, even under softer
lighting, although both colours and contrast can be controlled depending on the scanner and scanning parameters used. Adjustment of standard scanning parameters is advised to achieve the best results. (See later
information).

HARMAN Phoenix 200 is easily processed in C41 / CN16 processing chemicals and can be exposed in the range EI 100 – 400. The best overall results are obtained at EI 200, however highlight control may be improved by underexposing 0.5 – 1 stop depending on the scene.

Features:

• ISO 200/24° in C-41 process
• Daylight-balanced colour negative film
• Punchy vibrant colours
• High contrast and strong grain
• Limited Edition film

WHY HARMAN PHOENIX 200 IS DIFFERENT:
HARMAN Phoenix 200 is an experimental C41 colour film and the first ever made by HARMAN Photo. As suchit has characteristics that make this very different to the more traditional, established C41 colour negatives films.
In addition to the risk of occasional coating anomalies, this film does not have masking dyes and limited antihalation incorporated in the base layer. This means that striking halation effects around bright light sources and reflections are possible. In addition to its atypical colour rendering, this film has a distinctly analogue look when shooting certain scenes and colour palettes.

EXPOSURE RATING:
HARMAN Phoenix 200 film has a speed rating of ISO 200/24° (200ASA, 24DIN, EI 200) to daylight. The speed rating was measured using standard C41 processing. Although rated at 200/24°, Phoenix can be exposed over the range EI 100/21°–400/27°.

Like the mythical Phoenix, this new film represents hope, rebirth, and transformation. It signals
the start of a new legacy and the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of the world’s
largest manufacturers of photographic film.

This is the first ever colour film made entirely from emulsion to cassette at the HARMAN factory,
a significant yet incredibly exciting milestone.

We are very proud of what we have achieved with this film, but it is also our first step into
the world of colour. Sales from this film will allow us to further invest, refine, and improve our
formulations, coating capabilities, and colour technology. Our aim is that each new colour film
we produce will be an improvement on the previous.
