The 35mm vs 120 Phoenix SHOOTOUT! Come along for the ride as I shoot medium format Harman Phoenix 200 film side by side with 35mm making comparisons and sharing some thoughts along the way.

ABOUT HARMAN PHOENIX 200 IN 120
"
HARMAN Phoenix 200 is a brand-new ISO 200, C41 color negative film and the first ever made entirely from emulsion to cassette at our Mobberley factory, a significant yet incredibly exciting milestone.
After we launched in December 2023 in 35mm format, you used our feedback form to tell us that you wanted medium format so we listened and delivered.

High contrast and strong, visible grain are just some of its unique traits that help to produce characterful, unmistakably analogue, results unlike any other color film.

With a box speed of ISO 200, we recommend rating HARMAN Phoenix between ISO 100 and 200 depending on the scene brightness and contrast range. It performs best in good, consistent light and on brighter days or when shooting into the light there is also a possibility of halation. Phoenix can be rated between ISO 100 and 400 but performs best in good, consistent light. On brighter days or when shooting into the light there is also a possibility of halation.

It delivers punchy, vibrant colors although they react differently to different scanners and settings. Getting the exposure right will certainly help to get the best results so we suggest metering for the mid tones to retain shadow or highlight detail (over or under exposure is not Phoenix’s friend)!

Part of the fun of shooting film is expecting the unexpected and this film delivers exactly that from its uniquely colored negatives to chance encounters with occasional coating anomalies. Hold back your expectations and enjoy the experience!"
