INTRODUCING HARMAN PHOENIX 200 LIKE THE MYSTICAL PHOENIX, THIS NEW COLOUR FILM REPRESENTS HOPE, REBIRTH AND TRANSFORMATION. It signals the start of a new legacy and the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of the world's largest manufacturers of photographic film. THIS IS THE FIRST EVER COLOUR FILM MADE ENTIRELY FROM EMULSION TO CASSETTE AT THE HARMAN FACTORY. HARMAN Phoenix 200 is a quirky, experimental colour negative film with high contrast, strong visible grain, and plenty of ‘analogue’ character. -The first ever colour film fully made in Mobberley -Medium speed ISO 200 -High contrast and strong grain -C41 processing -Available as a DX coded 35mm 36exp film. HARMAN Phoenix 200 is a brand-new ISO 200, C41 colour negative film and the first ever made entirely from emulsion to cassette at our Mobberley factory, a significant yet incredibly exciting milestone. High contrast and strong, visible grain are just some of its unique traits that help to produce characterful, unmistakeably analogue, results unlike any other colour film. With a DX coded cassette and a box speed of ISO 200, 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 colours 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 coloured negatives to chance encounters with occasional coating anomalies. Hold back your expectations and enjoy the experience! Please note: HARMAN Phoenix is an experimental, limited-edition film and the first step on our 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. Development: Standard C41 processing WHY HARMAN PHOENIX 200 IS DIFFERENT: HARMAN Phoenix 200 is an experimental C41 colour film and the first ever made by HARMAN Photo. As such it has characteristics that make this very different to the more traditional, established C41 colour negatives films. In addition to the risk of occasional coating anomalies, this film does not have masking dyes and limited antihalation incorporated in the base layer. This means that striking halation effects around bright light sources and reflections are possible. In addition to its atypical colour rendering, this film has a distinctly analogue look when shooting certain scenes and colour palettes. EXPOSURE RATING: HARMAN Phoenix 200 film has a speed rating of ISO 200/24° (200ASA, 24DIN, EI 200) to daylight. The speed rating was measured using standard C41 processing. Film contrast: HARMAN Phoenix 200 negatives are higher contrast than most conventional colour films. Some bracketing of the exposure may therefore be required to correctly capture the scene’s brightness, particularly on bright days. FILTER FACTORS: HARMAN Phoenix 200 film may be used with all types of filters (e.g., Polarising or neutral density filters) in the usual way. PROCESSING: HARMAN Phoenix 200 film is processed in the standard C41 colour negative film process. This film can be processed alongside all makes of colour negative film. Safelight recommendations: Handle HARMAN Phoenix 200 film in total darkness. C41 type processing: HARMAN Phoenix 200 film is fully compatible with C41 type processing chemicals, both replenished (e.g. in dip and dunk or roller transport processors) and unreplenished (e.g. in spiral tanks or with Jobo one-shot rotary processing). The film can be put through standard C41 lines with no adjustment to processing speed, temperature, or replenishment rates. Drying: If processing by hand and to avoid drying marks, use a clean squeegee or chamois cloth to wipe the film before hanging it to dry. Dry the film at 30–40°C/86-104°F in a drying cabinet or at room temperature in a clean dust-free area. Push processing: Push processing is not recommended for HARMAN Phoenix 200. STORAGE: For immediate use, store HARMAN Phoenix 200 in a cool (10–20°C/50-68°F), dry place in its original packaging. HARMAN Phoenix 200 may be stored in a fridge/freezer but allow plenty of time for the film to acclimatise prior to use. Exposed film: Once exposed, process HARMAN Phoenix 200 as soon as practical. Exposed films should always be stored in cool, dry conditions - as recommended above. Unexposed Film: Store unexposed film in the same way as other colour films, i.e., in a cool (10–20°C/50–68°F), dry place in its original packaging. Negatives: Store processed negatives in a cool (10–20°C/50-68°F), dry place, in the dark. Suitable storage slee
