Analogue Adventures – Part 33: Harman Phoenix 200

July 24, 2024 BastianK 15 Comments

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 am all for more competition, but I am not really sure this is the film we were hoping for, let me tell you why.
Processing (C.41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany. The pictures in this article are from two rolls of film.

fuji fujifilm 100 superior review minolta cle leica analogue analog istanbul türkiye turkey — Fuji 100

In 2024 no one really knows anymore what is going on at Fujifilm when it comes to actual analogue film. Apparently the Fujifilm 200 that is being sold in the US is just relabeled Kodak Gold 200 – something absolutely unthinkable of just a few years ago. This Fuji 100 I received from a reader (Thanks a lot!) has been bought directly from Japan though, so it looks like the real deal, let’s have a look at the results together.

Analogue Adventures – Part 31: Which Nikon F-mount film camera to get?

May 30, 2024 BastianK 24 Comments

Introduction

Some of you may still remember the first part of this series, where I described what analogue cameras I had a look at and why I ultimately ended up with a Leica M6. An F-mount analogue camera was also in strong consideration, but I did not go for it because I did not want to buy a set of F-mount lenses – and the F-mount being a dead mount anyway. But in the meantime some things have changed, so here I am again…

There are already two articles covering Portra 800, but both times they have been developed in the ECN-2 process by Silbersalz35. What was missing was Portra 800 developed in the more common C-41 process, so here we go.
Exposed as ISO640. Processing (C-41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany.

Analogue Adventures – Part 29: Kodak Farbwelt 200 (expired)

March 11, 2024 BastianK 8 Comments

I found a few rolls of Kodak Farbwelt 200 that must have expired some 20 years ago and most likely they haven’t been properly stored at all. This first roll I exposed as ISO50 and I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The lab wasn’t happy and told me the film was massively expired and the scanner had a hard time scanning the negatives. Let’s see if some usable pictures came out of this.
