Harman Technology Phoenix 200

Discontinued Aug 2026C-41

Harman's first colour film (December 2023), an experimental ISO 200 C-41 negative with high contrast and strong visible grain and no orange mask or anti-halation layer, so scanner settings need adjusting. Withdrawn in 2026.

Withdrawn in 2026 and no longer in Harman’s shop. Harman says Phoenix 125 keeps the same characteristics as the original Phoenix 200 at a new speed of 125.

Development times

Phoenix 200 is developed in standard C-41 chemistry: 3:15 in the colour developer at 37.8°C / 100°F, the same as every other C-41 film. Blix and stabiliser times come from your kit, and pushing typically adds about 30% per stop.
