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.

You told us overwhelmingly that you wanted to see Phoenix film in medium format and looking at the stunning images from Jose Carvajal we can see why.
We gave Jose a few rolls of HARMAN Phoenix 120 and joined him for a shoot in his studio before following him to Carmencita Lab in Barcelona where he got the rolls developed and scanned.

Scanning HARMAN Phoenix 200 HARMAN Phoenix is the first step on our colour journey and is unlike any other colour film on the market today. One of the most notable things about this film is that it can produce very different looks depending on the scanning method used.
In this video we highlight some of the differences between scans from the Fuji Frontier vs a Noritsu, both widely used lab scanners. We always recommend making your preferred photo lab aware of this as well as our Phoenix scanning optimisation guidelines (available at harmanphoto.co.uk).
