The Story of Harman Phoenix:

A very unique warm tone that in the right conditions was really pleasing. I definitely wouldn't be shooting it at ISO 200 as the shadows just seem to fall right off, but shooting it at ISO 125 seemed to help with this while still keeping a warm and contrasty image.
It's probably not for everyone, and I think some cheaper stocks like Gold, Ultramax and ColorPlus probably have it beaten currently, but I can definitely see it's future potential and it's well worth shooting if you like more abstract and creative tones in your work!
Decided to load the film into a point and shoot, to see how it coped with a more basic camera, and took it out on a sunny day.
well I was suitably impressed by the pops of colour - especially the reds and green tones. Reminds me of album covers for some reason 😊
After getting my first roll of this developed I realized its something very special. Repeating what others have said it's not as precise and well rounded as more traditional film, but certainly creates very interesting results. A lot of my own photographs are used as references for paintings, so I love that it captures things a more accurate exposure would miss. Because of this I would say keep a roll of this on hand for when you want something intense and unpredictable, just be aware that theres a wild animal in your camera that you can't fully tame!
I had my Harman Phoenix 200 developed and scanned at Analogue Wonderland and the lab did a great job of it. When I got my negs back, I couldn't resist a quick shot of a negative with my phone to see how it fared in snapseed. Home developers need not worry about getting it right as the "phone scan" test isn't all that different than the scan I got from AW. AW is better, more resolution, etc, but it's nice to know home scans can be decent quality with very little effort. Phone used is a Nokia 5.3 with curve adjustment done in Snapseed.
Very high-contrast, high-saturation film.
You can definitely get interesting shots with it (clouds looked great) but it's not a day-to-day film for your point-and-shoot. Especially results indoors with flash were poor.
