  • Honored to be one of the first groups of people to test out the brand new color negative film made by Harman Photo (aka. ILFORD, they are the same company. The name “ILFORD” is licensed to only be used for B&W products. Hence the new color emulsion is announced under Harman Photos).
    In the past 3 months, I’ve been secretly testing out the new Phoenix 200 film. I tried shooting these rolls in different cameras and light conditions.
    Hoping that these photos would serve as sample images for anyone who might be interested in knowing more about this brand new color emulsion in the consumer film market.

    To an old timer like me, these images you got from the new film look exactly like the results we used to get from cross-processing. These colours and contrast make me wonder if this new film is actually a positive (slide film) processed in negative chemistry like C-41. Back in the 90s this 'trick' was very popular as we didn't have digital filters. You could also shoot colour negative film but then develop it in E6 chemichals which normally were for slide/positive film.

    • @SISSI_LU
      @SISSI_LU  Před 7 měsíci +3

      That’s right, it looks very similar to cross processed slide film.
      This film was not made positive, however, ILFORD/Harman used the same machines that they made their black and white films to make this RGB stock from scratch. I believe that they used the same film base as well, that’s why the emulsion looks yellow.

    Cool necklace at 5:00! I didn't realise that this was a colour film from Ilford. That piques my interest a bit more. I like the colours of the red jacket at 6:22 in contrast with the green. It looks very cross processed. Interesting.

    Phoenix looks like the Tri-X of colour neg films... Makes humble Kodak Gold 200 look very refined. I'll give Phoenix a go though. Great that Harmen ( always Ilford to me!) are trying new film stock. It could be a marketing masterstroke to make 'characterful' film these days rather than 'perfect' film?

    • @SISSI_LU

  • @siddharthm285
    @siddharthm285 Před 7 měsíci

    The metering seemed more accurate with the point and shoot that overexposed by a stop. I think maybe Harman needs to futz with the sensitivity a bit, even though i loved the moody photos from the other cameras!

    • @SISSI_LU
      @SISSI_LU  Před 7 měsíci

      From Jason’s (grainyday) video, the scientists who created this film stock said that the film’s native iso is at 123.5, but Harman decided to market it at 200 iso.

  • @IvarsDayLab
    @IvarsDayLab Před 7 měsíci +1

    I think that you need to change a lab or the process of scanning. Other youtuber videos shows that this film brings completely different results especially if you shoot it at iso 100. It is sharp, shadows are not blacked out and colors are much nicer. So I think you need to change something.

    • @SISSI_LU
      @SISSI_LU  Před 7 měsíci

      well, like I said, these were the early testing rolls. at the time i shot these, there was only one designated lab in the us to develop and scan this film bc it was top secret. I don’t like these scans either.

  • @calahad
    @calahad Před 7 měsíci

    So, if you would position this film in between other existing film stocks, where would you put it approximately, color-wise?

    • @SISSI_LU
      @SISSI_LU  Před 7 měsíci

      Not quite a fair comparison, since this film was just made completely from scratch.
      But if I have to put it on a scale, I’d place it somewhere between cinestill 400d and kodak proimage 100.
