Why We Love Phoenix II in 120
🎨 Vibrant Colours with Analogue Soul Phoenix II delivers rich, true-to-life colour with just the right amount of punch. Think dreamy skin tones, glowing reds, crisp blues and plenty of pop without feeling artificial - and keeping the halation from Phoenix 1 that we loved so much
🔍 Fine Grain, Stunning Detail Medium format already offers breathtaking resolution — and Phoenix II makes the most of it. The redesigned emulsion has a smoother grain structure, so you get sharp, clean images with elegant tonal transitions and plenty of character.
🧪 C-41 Friendly, Lab-Loving Developed using the standard C-41 process, Harman Phoenix II 120 is welcome at film labs worldwide. It scans like a dream too — giving you vibrant colours and accurate detail straight out of the tank.
☀️ Flexible Exposure for Real-Life Shoots Whether you're out on a bright day or chasing golden hour shadows, Phoenix II handles exposure beautifully. It’s forgiving of slight over- or underexposure, with strong highlight retention and much better shadow detail to keep your photos balanced and expressive.

I think I prefer the original with it's high grain and warm colours. This new film has a strong green and magenta cast which is fine in low light situations but in sunlight creates a rather odd look in my opinion.

Better results
After having shot this in 35mm, it was time to see how the 120 would fair.
I decided to shoot it in a holga for world zombie day and the results were great.
The colours helped to enhance the makeup the zombies were wearing.

Good first impressions
I enjoyed the results of this a lot more than Phoenix I. Colours are definitely better and, in the right context, I like the glowy halation look. Definitely worth trying again in the future.
Really impressed by Phoenix II - contrasty, love the blues, the portrait has a painterly quality I haven’t seen before. All the images here are unedited. You have to give this film a try. It’s a proper gem.

A vast improvement over version 1
This film is a vast improvement over Harman Phoenix in terms of brain structure and especially the colour rendition. It’s on the cool side but is consistent. It is worth trying out a roll or two.
