Power amplifier Harman-Kardon Phoenix II 200-120 (1182439) 200 W

Phoenix II is an updated colour negative film from Harman Technology, offered in both 35mm and 120 formats. Built on a new emulsion, this film combines a bold, vibrant character with finer grain, improved sharpness and smoother contrast compared with the original release. It produces cleaner scans with more natural colours and requires minimal lab adjustments for many shoots.

Advantages

The new emulsion provides finer grain and sharper detail while maintaining the distinctive colour character of the original Phoenix. The film preserves highlights and shadows more effectively and delivers a wider exposure latitude, which makes metering and everyday shooting more flexible. Scans tend to be cleaner and closer to the intended look straight from the lab, reducing post-processing time.

Suitable for

• 35mm and medium-format film photography
• Portraits and lifestyle shoots requiring rich colour character
• Street and documentary photography with varied lighting
• Photographers who prefer minimal scanning and lab correction

Key specifications

• Type: Colour negative film
• ISO: 200
• Formats: 35mm and 120
• Emulsion: New formulation with finer grain and improved sharpness
• Tonality: Smoother contrast and wider exposure latitude

How to use

Load the film into a compatible 35mm or 120 camera according to the camera manufacturer’s instructions. Meter and expose using the ISO 200 rating as a baseline, adjusting exposure as desired to take advantage of the film’s wider latitude. Process as standard C-41 colour negative film. For scanning, expect more natural colours and less need for heavy tonal adjustments in the lab.

Recommendations

For best results, expose using ISO 200 and bracket exposures in mixed or challenging lighting. When scanning, apply light corrections as needed—most lab scans will require only minimal adjustment to achieve natural colours and balanced highlights and shadows.
