I shot my first roll of Harman Phoenix 200 throughout August and September. These are a few street shots from uptown Frankfurt, the Messe area, my home district Ginnheim, as well as Bockenheim and Höchst.

The results turned out better than I expected. After watching several film YouTubers review this stock, I was worried the colors would lean too much toward red, and that the contrast might be too harsh for midday shots. There is a noticeable red tint, and some halation, but I think it’s still acceptable. This film works well if you’re going for that specific look or effect, but it’s not ideal for everyday or vacation photography — at least not for me. I do like how the colors of the sky came out, though.

Overall, it’s a decent first attempt by Ilford/Harman at color film. I hope they continue to develop and improve it further.
