Harman Phoenix II ISO 200 C41 Colour 120 Film

Harman Phoenix II is the second-generation colour film from Harman Technology, made entirely at the historic Mobberley factory in the UK. Building on the cult success of the original Phoenix, this new formulation has been completely reengineered from the ground up with new dyes, couplers and an experimental layer construct, delivering finer grain, smoother contrast and a wider exposure latitude without losing the unmistakable Phoenix character.

In 120 medium format, Phoenix II truly comes into its own. The larger negative reveals every nuance of the redesigned emulsion, from richer shadow and highlight retention to more natural skin tones and tighter sharpness. Colours remain punchy and distinctive, with signature halation in high-contrast scenes and an unconventional palette that sets this film apart from anything mainstream. There is still no orange mask, so expect a look that feels genuinely analogue and unlike anything else on the shelf.

Rated at ISO 200 with best results between EI 100 and 200, Phoenix II is processed in standard C41 chemistry at any colour lab or in your home darkroom. It rewards careful exposure but invites experimentation, with photographers also pushing it through E6 and ECN-2 for entirely different looks. Whether you shoot portraits, landscapes or street, Phoenix II in 120 offers a creative, character-rich alternative for medium format shooters ready to try something new.
