A SECOND LOOK AT HARMAN PHOENIX II

 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.












Definitely worthy of your money, and I look forward to shooting more Phoenix II.
