Well said!
This is definitely exciting news. I live in Rochester, NY and I still feel that sooner rather than much later, Kodak film will go away. So, a new color film is such great news.
First! Thanks so much for checking out the video! I really appreciate you taking the time!
Second! Exactly! I love this so much for the community. Regardless of my own subjective thoughts on the film based on what we've seen from other photographers, I'm excited that there is another team willing to continue bringing us the tools we need to create our work. I can only hope that this is the beginning of a stronger stake in the color film space by Harman Photo!
Great news! It looks stunning if developed and scanned correctly! I've seen terrible and incredible results.
Agreed! It’s definitely been a mixed bag of results. I think as more labs/at home devs get to experiment with the film the more we’ll see where it can go. Either way I hope this is a sign from Harman that they plan on working on this long term! Would love to see improvements, other speeds, other formats, etc. in the future.
Harmon is working on a second version of this film with lower contrast, I believe they are also working on making 120 and large format films. I’m not a fan of this film (too contrasty for my taste) but I’m extremely enthusiastic that Harmon is producing original color film stocks. I might buy a few rolls just to support their efforts and see if my initial impressions are wrong.
Remember, we are the ones who are keeping film alive and we need to support the efforts of the people who are creating something new. Before we know it Gold and Portra will be the only color film stocks left and we will be paying $20 a roll.
Agreed! I don’t expect the film to be for everyone. Just like us having preference in B&W film stocks. I’m also not so excited for the contrast right now. But, having variety allows for choice and choice enables creative liberty and I’m all for that! I’m excited to hear that more is in the works and will continue to support as long as they continue to keep film pushing forward and stay a part of the community.
I’m quite excited by this news and have developed a roll already. So far, it’s not to my liking but I still support new innovations to increase competition in the market place through various color film producers. I definitely think Harmon’s Phoenix should be constructively criticized for iterative improvements otherwise they’ll think we all want a gimmicky color stock. If I wanted that I’d buy lomography film; I want an affordable alternative to Kodak’s professional line of color film so I’ll buy more rolls of Phoenix if it means this will be one of the end products. I’ll certainly express my dislike for the current iteration in the process as well.
I agree with this wholeheartedly! Harman should definitely get constructive criticism as they work through this process! It would be a waste if they created a new stock and then refused to take into account any of the feedback from the community when criticism is expressed. Then I’d have to make a different video haha! I’ve bought a few a few rolls (read as 5 rolls🤣) and am currently putting through its paces! I haven’t developed any yet. But I plan to give my honest thoughts based on my shooting, developing, and printing!
