Comments on: Harman Phoenix 200 – the Review https://casualphotophile.com/2023/12/01/harman-phoenix-200-the-review/ Cameras and Photography Wed, 06 Mar 2024 12:52:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bob https://casualphotophile.com/2023/12/01/harman-phoenix-200-the-review/#comment-23038 Wed, 06 Mar 2024 12:52:03 +0000 https://casualphotophile.com/?p=31912#comment-23038 I have noticed lab scans (local 1-hour place) of “normal” color films to be rather punchy and contrasty as well compared to scans from my Nikon LS-2000 film scanner. A lot of detail seems to get lost in the shadows. I much prefer the results when I scan myself, so it is a no-brainer to skip the extra cost of having them scan it for me. Some of your scans (mainly the two with the young girl in them) look like they could use a quick touch-up using the levels tool in Photoshop, or probably “dehaze” in Lightroom would accomplish the same thing. If you’re not familiar with it, go to Levels, then drag the ends in slightly to where the line starts to rise up from the bottom (hard to describe in text, but I learned it here – https://www.scantips.com/simple2.html).

I guess, but it seems to me there are already acceptable alternative color films available. Perhaps it is good to have new alternative color films.

What does the existence of other color films have to do with anything. This is a brand new color film that has never existed before being made in 2023. It is very important.

But if you shoot a subject matter that would benefit from a grainy look, then go for it! Produces greens pretty well though

What’s interesting to me is the origin of Adox Color Mission. A new color emulsion from Europe that was produced at a prototype stage and then cold stored for years before Adox could release it. Next thing you know, we have the new Orwo color films after all the separate ex-Agfa companies merged, and now, Harman’s new color emulsion. Maybe both the Harman and the Orwo started out in Marly, Switzerland. Doesn’t really matter, and this is excellent news.
