The Mysteries of Phoenix 200

Phoenix 200 is a remarkable film, and while there's a lot of content covering its quirks at this point, I think a few of its strengths and mysteries are worth exploring.
This video documents two rolls of Phoenix 200 on 35mm film. They were processed normally at 200 ISO, but I almost always exposed for more light. The film reacts well to this in all situations that aren't midday sun, but I recommend camera scanning Phoenix 200 instead of using a lab scanner, if possible.
Thanks so much for watching and for all the support.

Those scenes at the lake are some of my favorite photographs you’ve shared Jon. I really love them…interested in doing a print trade?

I shot Phoenix for the first time (120) a week or so ago -- developed and scanned at home -- and I loved the results. I haven't tried it in 35mm but your shots look great 👍
Edit- I also had a long exposure shot at night turn a strong, yellow light into a bright green. I thought it was some kind of fluke because I hadn't seen anyone else shoot it in the dark!

Nice! Very cool that you did a longer exposure too. I thought it was a fluke too until it kept happening on every roll. Definitely a fascinating characteristic of the film.

Love the video! Keep ‘em coming. Really cool photos as ever. They are all so vivid, vibrant, and you really have a great eye for the wonderful little beautiful details all around us…. Also cool to see you experimenting too.
