7 Frames - Phoenixsee
June 30, 2024
- Where: Königssee
- Camera: Rollei 35
- Film: Harman Phoenix 200 (@125)
- Scan: Nikon Super Coolscan 9000
My first roll of Harman Phoenix 200 shot at ISO 125 in my Rollei 35 at the Königssee in Berchtesgaden. While Phoenix is officially rated at ISO 200 by Harman, I heard that it technically should be rated at ISO 125. So that is why I shot it at that sensitivity. Another thing I saw on the web is, that lab scanning yields a strong red color cast because the film base is transparent instead of the usual orange used to minimize halation. Scanning and conversion at home are supposed to not suffer from this issue. I can confirm that from my experience after developing, scanning, and converting four rolls of Harman Phoenix 200. The colors straight out of the default conversion with Negative Lab Pro look subdued but pleasant. The grain makes images look a little fuzzy, but fine details like the name of the boat in the first image are still resolved.
