5- Harman Phoenix 120 review: a new colour film for medium format, finally Harman Phoenix arrived in 120 in 2024, the first all-new colour film for medium format in a long time. I tested it across confetti fields, a Holga, and a proper studio shoot. It is unrefined but fun, it loves yellows and oranges, and it wants a good camera and proper exposure. Honest first review.
- Harman Phoenix 2 review: a proper colour film now Hands-on review of Harman Phoenix 2 in 120, shot side by side with Phoenix 1 across two rolls in rural Gloucestershire. The honest verdict: it is a real step on from Phoenix 1, the halation is still there, and I am buying more.
- Harman Red 125 in 120: honest first impressions of a film I do not understand Harman Red is now available in 120 alongside its original 35mm launch. I shot two rolls trying to work out what it is for. Conclusion: it makes red images, very competently, and I personally still cannot think of a reason to use it. Honest review with the bias declared upfront.
- Kentmere Pan 200 review: a budget black and white film with real character Kentmere Pan 200 is Ilford's new addition to the budget Kentmere line, slotting between Pan 100 and Pan 400. Tested across three rolls on Bronica GS1, Rolleiflex SLX and a walk around Toronto, this is a properly good film with some bite to it. And at around £5 a roll it costs significantly less than FP4.
