HARMAN Phoenix II is our 2nd generation colour film and is very different from the original.

Each layer and component has been redesigned and reengineered into a completely new formulation. New dyes, couplers, and even an experimental layer construct!

Less bold and unpredictable than the original, Phoenix II still offers plenty of character for a truly analogue look.

The improvements to contrast, grain, and sharpness, help to retain shadow and highlight detail and enable more flexibility in exposure latitude (although Phoenix II still benefits from accurate exposure).

Scanning is also improved at default settings, and the final look will vary based on the scanner used. Phoenix II is your chance to try something completely new, experiment and get creative. Leave your preconceptions behind and enjoy the journey.

Phoenix II is DX-coded with a box speed of ISO 200 and works best rated between EI 100-200.

Development: Standard C41 processing

The Journey Continues…

In December 2023 we announced the launch of HARMAN Phoenix 200, a limited edition, experimental film and the first ever colour film made entirely at the HARMAN factory in Mobberley, UK.

This was just the beginning.

With the amazing support and feedback from the film community, plus a lot of hard work, we have now introduced our 2nd generation colour film, HARMAN Phoenix II.

Please note: HARMAN Phoenix is an experimental, limited-edition film and the first step in Harmans colour journey. Making colour films is very different to black & white and while we have made good progress, we recognise we have a lot more to learn. Please embrace this film for all its quirks and differences.
