Super grainy
Ver grainy images with subtle unsaturated colour balance. Struggled in the low light I used it in but still gave some interesting images

Wide variety of results
Certainly some green tones coming through, particularly in low light, but in the right conditions this film stock definitely has a lot of character! I particularly liked it for my autumnal shots as it also picks up the orange tones nicely.

More "dramatic" than kodak gold
Not a pro but dramatic looking film. feels a lot more saturated compared to kodak gold. Skews green in low light

Shoot it at 100
The main thing is that Harman have developed a new film for us. Is it perfect? No, but it's here and I'm sure they'll improve it with with time. For now, shoot it at 100 and enjoy it for what it is.

Given the right light and place, it's great!
Is it as versatile as Kodak Gold? Nah, but it has a very distinct aesthetic that's beautiful in its own way. It's definitely got a narrower exposure range and so I couldn't recommend using it as a default, but it's good for when you want really saturated colours (and particularly red and orange colours that super pop). I did find there were some defects in one of my roles with purple dots all over the place, and it is also quite grainy - so don't expect studio quality work out of this. Worth a shot though as a good alternate film!
