In my previous post, I gave my results from the new Harman 200 Phoenix II C-41 film. I'm pretty sure that my developer /technique was to blame for the results, but I still managed some very colorful images. This time, I shot the roll with my Nikon F75 with a 50mm/1.8 Nikkor, and had the film processed by Ball Photo in Asheville, NC.
After I received my negatives, I scanned them just as I would any C-41 color film, and the results were excellent, especially in full sun. Indoor and lower light images needed some tweaking, so I would advise to add a +1 stop correction for indoors (without flash) or under deep shade.
It's obvious that this is an improved film over the original Phoenix 200. I think that it is less grainy, better color rendition, and certainly has better latitude.
Here are a few shots from that roll. Definitely much better! All images are from Maggie Valley, NC - a tourist trap if I ever saw one.
Wow, it is so cool that you tried out the new Harman Phoenix II film. It makes a lot of sense that sending it to a lab for processing helps it look even better. The images from Maggie Valley are really vivid; it is like the film just loves bright sunlight.
