Review of Harman Phoenix II

Perfect for: Great All-Rounder, Landscapes, Travel

Really loved this film

I really liked how the photos came out with the unique colour look and how they where contrasted. I really enjoyed using this film and would defiantly buy again

Not beginner friendly

Most of the roll came out underexposed despite using a light meter. Was told after that most people shoot it on 100 rather than 200. A few nice results from the roll, but wouldn’t rush to try it again. Never tried the original Phoenix film so can’t comment on a comparison.

Perfect for: Great All-Rounder, Low light/Night

Such a vibe

This film is VERY vibrant, with a real blue-ish hue to the photos. Feel like I love how sharp the pictures were in the day, but also how the tone actually really suited low/light night photos too!

Perfect for: Landscapes, Street Photography, Travel

Vintage feel, needs care scanning though

Quite a few of the reviews complain about poor colour reproduction or strange colour casts and I think this is because Phoenix 2 uses a blue film base rather than the more common orange base. If you scan at home this is easy to manage, if you get lab scans and they come back with strange colours I'd ask them to redo them or use a lab that is more familiar with Phoenix (like AW).

As you can see from these photos the colours can be true to life when scanned correctly but you will also see there is some halation around bright light, but this is much more controlled than with the first phoenix.

Accreditation Handles: Anything

Nice blue colour but wouldn't recommend

I wouldn't buy this film again - although it does have a nice warm blue colour, a lot of my pictures came out shady and grainy, even though they were taken in broad daylight. A bit disappointed because some of my pictures were quite nice.

(I haven't uploaded most of the dark ones as they have people)
