Harman Film
The brand new Harman Phoenix Colour Film is now available in 35mm & 120 versions. First released in 2023, the newly added 120 version now gives every tradiotional colour photographer the opportunity to try and use this unusual, and yet very interesting, colour negative film...
- The film is consistent with 35mm emulsion i.e. experimental and therefore has some quirky characteristics:
- High contrast with strong, visible grain
- The larger 120 negatives offer much more detail than a 35mm negative
- Getting exposure right is still important for the best results!
- ISO 200 – but many say best results around ISO 100 (overexpose by 1 stop and process as standard)
- Because halation in the highlights is better than mucky shadows!
- It performs best in constant, even light and scenes but if in doubt, meter for the mid tones or bracket exposures.
- It has some quirky colours – these are impacted by exposure and/or scanning
- Digital camera scanning gives the best results.
- The film also benefits from a good lens on your camera (the contrast exacerbates vignetting)
- Standard C41 Processing although some are experimenting with E6!
