A Color Film Like No Other—Reimagined
Introducing HARMAN Phoenix II—the second-generation ISO 200 C41 color negative film that builds on the wild character of the original Phoenix with improved contrast, finer grain, and wider exposure latitude. Now available in both 35mm and 120 medium format, Phoenix II remains an exciting option for photographers seeking a distinct alternative to mainstream color film.
Why Phoenix II Stands Out
-
ISO 200 daylight-balanced color film
Rated at ISO 200 with best results between EI 100–200. Flexible enough for a wide range of shooting scenarios. -
C41 process
Compatible with all standard color labs and home C41 processing workflows. -
Now in 120 format
For the first time, Phoenix is available in 120 roll film—edge-numbered and ready for medium format shooters. -
More refined than the original Phoenix
Phoenix II brings finer grain, smoother contrast, and more balanced color—while still delivering an experimental edge and a punchy, sometimes unpredictable palette. -
No orange mask
Like its predecessor, Phoenix II lacks the traditional orange base—resulting in a purple-toned negative and unusual color rendering when scanned, especially in high contrast lighting. -
Halation remains part of its charm
High-contrast scenes may still produce halation effects, giving images a soft glow or dreamlike feel. -
Great for scanning with tweaks
Recommended scanning approaches include using custom profiles on Noritsu or Fuji SP3000 scanners, or inverting as slide film in Negative Lab Pro or Photoshop for maximum control.
Ideal For
-
Creative analog photographers looking for a break from the overly clean or clinical look of mainstream color films.
-
Fans of the original Phoenix who want more usability and better scanability without losing the soul.
-
Medium format shooters eager to experiment with nontraditional color looks.
-
Anyone chasing that unpredictable, analog magic—but with more control than before.
