This Harman Phoenix 200 is said to be a newly designed colour negative analogue film that hit the market in early 2024. Many people did not expect anyone except for Kodak and Fuji even being able to produce a (new) color negative film, so it created quite the buzz. I already had this film developed in C-41 and I wasn’t too happy with the results, so this time I tried the ECN-2 process.
Processing (ECN-2) and scanning was done at Silbersalz in Germany. The pictures in this article are from one roll of film. Per recommendation when having the film ECN-2 developed I shot it at half box speed (ISO 100).
Also when developed in ECN-2 my opinion on this film hasn’t changed: high grain, high contrast/low latitude and an orangey/red color cast – albeit the dynamic range looks slightly better to me here.
As you can see from the following pictures: halation and low dynamic range and somewhat odd colors are still a problem.
I did find the image quality a bit better when developed in ECN-2 with slightly better dynamic range, so I would definitely pick this option again.
