Product Information

Full details

The Harman Phoenix 200 120 is designed for experimental film photographers who appreciate a distinct, non-traditional analogue aesthetic characterized by high contrast and vibrant, punchy colors. This medium format film offers a rewarding experience for those looking to move away from clinical, modern digital looks, though users should be prepared for its signature strong visible grain and potential for halation in high-contrast lighting conditions.

FAQs

Can I process Harman Phoenix 200 at home?

Yes, as long as you have the equipment and chemicals for standard C41 color negative development.

Is this film suitable for professional portraiture?

It is better suited for experimental or artistic portraits rather than standard professional headshots due to its high grain and contrast.

What is the recommended ISO for this film?

The film is rated at ISO 200, but it is flexible and can be shot anywhere between ISO 100 and 400.

Does it have a specific look compared to other films?

Yes, it is known for being quirky, with very strong contrast and a specific color shift that deviates from traditional, neutral films.

Where is Harman Phoenix manufactured?

The film is entirely made in the United Kingdom by Harman.

Troubleshooting

Images appear underexposed

Ensure you are metering for mid-tones rather than highlights, or try shooting at ISO 100 if your scene is in low light.

Excessive halation around bright light sources

This is a characteristic of the film; to minimize it, avoid shooting directly into the sun or place light sources at the edges of the frame.

Color cast seems too strong

Use consistent white balance settings during the digital scanning process to balance the unique color shifts of the film.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a 120 format roll film, the Harman Phoenix 200 is compatible with any medium format camera capable of handling standard color negative film. When loading, ensure the film is kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fogging, as the backing paper can be sensitive. For the best exposure results, use an incident light meter and meter for the mid-tones. Regarding development, you can drop this film off at any professional lab that offers standard C41 processing. If you are scanning the negatives at home, use a high-quality scanner to capture the full breadth of the film's unique color palette and grain texture.
