Harman Phoenix | A Simple Review! 

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I really enjoyed shooting it. I have another roll ready in the fridge, im just waiting for a nice sunny spring day to use it, save wasting it in the dark gloomy British winter!

Thanks :)

Thank you! And yes, 100% get some, use it when its sunny though, I shot another roll the other day at sunset and it worked much better!

It took some time to figure out how to grade with the dark cool toned walls. But I think I've figured it out for now! and yes, she is!

I've never shot any 110, but I've heard that Lomography do some pretty decent Black and white 110 films!

@@CallumMolloy Lomography sells Orca, which is a 100 ISO orthographic style black and white. It is a lovely film, and is the sharpest of all the 110 films. They also sell a color film, Tiger, plus their "creative" films like Metropolis, Turquoise, '92, etc. But, unfortunately Lomography is also a lo-fi company and does things like pack film with backing paper that has random small holes in it, I guess to enhance the lo-fi effect. It was never like that in the old days. Films were finer grained, and did not suffer from light leaks. I would love to have the choice of another company making 110 film that doesn't play those annoying lo-fi games, and we could have more choice. FP4 and HP5 would be brilliant, but I suspect that the halation of Phoenix would be rather interesting in 110, as the smaller format tends to exaggerate film "flaws" and I could use it for creative effect.

Well, Harman have stated that they are planning to go multi format with Phoenix so you may get lucky with it coming to 110! Will just have to keep your fingers crossed!

I just did a standard c41 develop at a local lab and scanned them using a flatbed scanner. Then just cleaned up any dust that was scanned in.

I do like the Newer 50mm lenses, they are super sharp, especially on a digital body, but since im shooting film, I didn't really need the extra sharp glass for it! Great lenses though generally!

It is actually made in the UK from scratch, entirely from emulsion to cassette, in the harman factory (and the first colour film made in the UK) there's a whole tour of the process on the Grainydays Channel! I recommend it!

@@CallumMolloySo I learned too late. The lack of an anti-halation coating tricked me. Thank you.

Lol. It’s not a respooled cinema film! It actually is a brand new emulsion they released before Christmas! That’s why it’s so contrasty! It looks nothing like any Kodak vision film! How have you missed this? It was such a huge announcement!

@@malypavel25 it tricked a lot of people to be fair. A lot of my friends thought it was re spooled cine film. I had my doubts at first before I did my research!

@@malypavel25I did find this out. I was confused by the lack of an anti-halation layer, common for cine film.
