Harman Phoenix 200 – A Brand-New Colour Film from Ilford!

Let’s dive into something exciting—Harman (aka Ilford) has launched a completely new colour film: Harman Phoenix 200. This isn’t a repackaged stock or a rebranded film we’ve seen before—it’s a totally fresh emulsion, made from scratch at their Mobberley factory in the UK. For a company best known for black-and-white films like HP5, this is a huge step into the world of colour photography.

What’s Special About Harman Phoenix 200?

✅ Brand-New Colour Film – Not a rebranded stock, but a fully new emulsion from the ground up.
✅ Made in the UK – Produced entirely at Harman’s Mobberley factory, from emulsion to cassette.
✅ ISO 200 Speed – A versatile mid-speed film that works well in daylight and controlled lighting.
✅ Unique Color Palette – Expect bold, punchy tones that stand out from the usual Kodak and Fuji stocks.
✅ First Harman Colour Film – A major shift for a company primarily known for black-and-white film.

How Does It Perform?

I took Harman Phoenix 200 out for a spin, testing its colors, contrast, and overall usability. The big question—does it live up to the hype, or does it fall flat? I’ll break down:
🎨 Color rendering and saturation – How it compares to Kodak and Fuji stocks.
☀️ Exposure latitude – How forgiving the film is with over and underexposure.
📷 Best shooting conditions – Where this film shines and where it struggles.

It’s always exciting when a new film stock drops, especially a completely new color film from a company with a rich history in black-and-white photography. Whether you’re curious about trying it yourself or just want to see how it performs, Harman Phoenix 200 is definitely a film to watch.
