Correction ~ I miss spoke about pulling film - When pulling film, the negative develops for a shorter amount of time than normal... I accidentally said Longer .... Brain Fart

Upon seeing images from Phoenix, I really thought pulling it would be a good idea to diminish some of the weaknesses it has, but I didn't see a lot of people pulling it, and I'm glad Caleb did it. Not only that, these are legitimately some of the best results I've seen out of this film stock! Nice work Caleb!

I’m stoked someone with such a rich history in film is stepping up. Competition is always good. Fuji left a hole and Kodak prices are consistently going up. We need some other options! I really like the look overall, and can’t wait to try it out!

Having watched several videos now on Phoenix, I think these were my favorite results anyone had. Actually particularly enjoyed the box speed results on the FA. Nice job, my dude. 🙌🏻 Also, I've also photographed that cafe and gas station in Onyx, it was fun to see what frames you ended up grabbing in comparison to what I did.

First of all, you're absolutely right that we need to support this project! As I said on Jason's video, I'm not a huge fan of this film at box speed, but I'm very interested to see what they come up with next. What I am a big fan of is the breadth of info and vibes watching you guys' videos back to back. I love Jason's coverage of the people behind this project and showcasing their passion, and I love your video's more "scientific" approach which shows us more of what this stock can really do! The smoothness of the -1 pull in harsh light was nutty and I liked the way it shifted the colors as well. Like I said, after Jason's video I was going to buy it for the sole purpose of supporting the project, but you've shown us a different side of it that I really like and now I'll buy it to experiment with! Now to get a scanning setup...

COLOR! I really like the pulled images but some of the box speed shots are just right! I really do like the colors! Giving me kodak gold vibes a little. The grain difference with just a stop is kinda crazy. That film stock sweatshirt is so cool as well. Also, that ricoh focal length and sharpness is so good. 100 is the sweet spot for that film from what I can see. Have a good weekend dude.

Regardless of the results, another color film by a major lab is a total win! I'd like to see the results of normal film shooting, overexposing 1 stop and normal development. We never pulled unless the conditions were too bright to achieve a proper exposure which those Nikons are more than capable of achieving. Either way, always good to see a new video!

Love love love Harman for doing this. Also love that you got to try it. Your photos came out really well!

This had to be the best comparison I’ve seen. Whitty humour aside, you’ve demonstrated the best range of the film rather than just one box speed test unedited.

Great video, as always. After watching several Phoenix vids, I think it’s safe to say that you got the most of of the film (or just “best shots”) of the bunch. Gonna have to go watch your push/pull video and take some notes before my film arrives in the post.

Just bought a few rolls of this film and I’m super stoked even more after watching this!

You DEFINITELY had the best results with this film stock from any of the videos I have watched. I was slightly on the fence about the film. But I will definitely give it a try soon.

Rattlesnakes: "Take my picture, take my picture!!"

Congrats to Harman, and a boon for film photography. Really liked the film a lot pulled one stop , will be trying it out. Thanks for a great review!

this is probably the first video that's convinced me to pick up a roll sometime (I just spent all my money on black Friday film deals). I think pulling or rating it 100 is definitely the way to go! I enjoyed your shots 🙂

Looks a lot better pulled but uhh probably could've cut the swastikas out

Best results with the phoenix ive seen so far! Great job 👌🏼

4:55 wait, when you pull film you put it in the developer less time, not more

Great review! I’m looking forward to shooting this. I love that you experimented wildly with your rolls to help us see what it could do. Also, I totally agree that this is fantastic news for us film shooters.

That shot of the flipped car was probably my favorite, love the pulled ones. I'd be interested to see the halation on a faster stock like 800

Not a fan of how much extra work is needed to get a quality image, but I’m certainly glad new colour film is being made! Keep it up, Harman!

I would love to know how you plan a trip and how you find locations! Great video!

Love this film review. Really informative and shows off what it can do and what can be done with it!

Thanks for a great review! looking to shoot 35 mil version and hope they eventually come out with a 120 mil version!

Hey your videos keep getting better and better. Been a fan for a while, good shit dude.

Just want to say we appreciate the work you do. Great info broski 👍🏽

Thanks for the fun video!! I'll have to bag some of this and give it a spin. I need to learn about pushing, pulling film....real quick, if you pull by a stop...that means you overexpose by 1 stop, and then take it out of the developer early by one stop? Thank you in advance, CC

hell yeah, new caleb video!

Well thank you for this science class Dr. Bad Flashes! Now I am sure I will pull Phoenix film stock -1 when shooting! The results are fantastic! Thank you for your video!

I'm really impressed with what you got out of this film. It inspired me to shoot it at 100 indoors and 125 outside on an overcast day. I'll be posting results soon, but definitely inspired by this video to shoot closer to 100 iso and develop normally.

That melting house shot is incredible!

the thumbnail for this vid is so minimalist.

The pulled shot of that upside down car is sharper than professor mcgonagall’s wit. Marry me

Cool video Erik! I've owned this camera for a while and it's really a tank. Feels like a small DSLR. Good grip, so many features, very solid! The lens is awesome and the zoom range something very rare for it's time. The displays made it hard to see what you are doing because of it's low resolution and small size. But in 2004... it was great! Sadly the internal battery was empty and i couldn't replace it... that's very annoying. Keep it up, good job! 👍🏻

Loved the side-by-side comparison. Box vs. F-1. Thanks for the very scientific approach. Always need more data. This was excellent.

Gotta agree with Visser, these are the best I've seen so far! Love the look the Ricoh gave it.

NICE! Great pics in the name of science.

Looks like everyone decided to drop their videos about this new film at the same time. This is the second one I’ve viewed and was glad to see that there was actually some color coming out in the images. The first video of pictures from the Hoover dam using this new film appeared as very earthy and subdued. Looking forward to seeing the outcome from the others who decided to post at the same time.

Best review I have seen for this film. Shooting at 100 looks like the way to go. I'm am in & will order several rolls to give it a go & to support Harmon.

Loving this film so far. Looking forward to shooting it.

I hope that Harmon watches this video - exactly the type of experimentation that they need. A number of your photos had merit so, for some lighting conditions / subjects, this "experimental" film is usable now. I bought four rolls to support their efforts.

Didn't really matter that much how the film looked to me tbh. It's literally everything we beg for and that's more film and more availability of film. Will buy some as soon as I can and plan on shooting some with some adapters in some brownie cams and maybe some 30's medium format pocket cams to see what the potential could be on a 6x9 for a 120 variant. Never know we could look back at when this came out as a pivot point for film popularity and nostalgia kind of like Agfa RSX or other films. I work at a retail store that doesn't really carry much photo equipment but we do sell FUJI 400 3 Packs and we do sell a few a week which is great to see.

Excited to test this stock out and great to see it has some variability with pulling it.

New film stock! Awwwww yeah

I don’t think this film will become my go to colour film, but it’s great to have another option so I’ve ordered a few rolls and I’ll try it out. Even if I don’t like it , I’m happy a new film has been released. What I’d really love is some new high ISO colour film… 800 and above

Bring on the saturation, the light and the overexposure. Fresh Bad Flashes content always relaxes me, makes my day better. I need to shoot the rest of the Roll of UltraMax 400 in the Canon L1. Hope the light's right.

First of all, love the video. I still have some boxes of Phoenix 200 laying around and waiting for the right opportunity to use them. Secondly, I'm also loving all of the Order of the Phoenix references, however, Creature the House Elf had a pretty great redemption arc in the book. The movie did him dirtier than underexposed Phoenix 200.

I'm absolutely hyped for a competitor to Kodak in the color film market. I'm loving what I see from Phoenix and can't wait for more!

THE KING IS HERE!!!!

Dude, your Ricoh rocks! I’m going to be on the lookout for this film in Tokyo…

Really digging the vibe of this film! And nice shots out there 👌

The guy in the video said you leave the film longer in development when pulling...I thought pulling was the opposite. Overexpose and shorter development than usual. Pushing is when you underexpose and develop for longer.

The minute I saw Jason upload a new video, I went straight to the search bar and looked for your video first…for double viewing pleasure 😎

Thanks. Very nice video! As I understand it is a 123.5 ISO film. From the Ricoh images I guess they don't DX code it as 200? I liked the pulled images with regards to shadows, but not colour. Is it hard to get it to match box speed ? Especially greens in the shot before the stairway as way yellow in the pulled image.

Love watching your videos man!

Thanks for the cool video - great to see how the film behaves at different ratings!

The high contrast, saturated colours and grain gives me strong flashbacks to cross processed slide film like Crossbird & old Ektachrome which I’m all for. In a moment of madness I just ordered 15 rolls!!

What was the name of the blues track played during the shots of the collapsed barn please? Enjoyed the video, great to see someone experimenting with film.

Thanks for the video! For the sake of clarification, did you rate the film at 100 or did you have the lab pull the development? Thanks! Edit - or both?

to confirm, the camera settings for the first two rolls are the same? Both shot at 200 ISO. But one roll was pulled a stop?

Love the intro music choice

Of all of the videos reviewing Phoenix 200 ( Phoenixpalooza?) I watched today yours was the most instructive.

You should carry some shake cans to overspray random swastikas… That aside, great to see some brand new stock. Looks interesting. Should I hold my breath for 120?.

Great video! Definitely one of the best and most detailed video I've seen so far! I definitely want to help the project by buying some but am not too into the box speed look, overexposing seems to be the best option for me. I have a question regarding shots at 7:56, what doo you attribute the differences (in what seems to be exposure) between images shot at box speed in the FA vs in the Ricoh?

That flipped car comparison @6:06 makes a really nice crossed eye 3D picture. For those whom know they know. Anyway, very comprehensive explanation. Lots of interesting information.

I think I have a photo that trumps Jason’s toilet photos. Spotted a porta potty that someone put on wheels, and strapped an engine on. Nothing like seeing one of those speeding down the road. Did some dragging shutter shots there.

Oh I think we need a video on this new DSLR scanning setup 🤤

This looked great shot at 100 ….. toned everything down quite nicely

13:25 Wow! Dad reflexes! When is it due? 🐥

Im definitely interested in grabbing a few rolls myself.

Great vid! Just an fyi thumbnail is missing on my end at the moment

The comparison at 7:57 is amazing, but it's especially amazing because the box speed shot looks so sick. Far from neutral but super interesting.

Incredible hat in the first shot

Video @ 3:56 Multiple Nikon F3 images show a gradient & darkened right side of the frame. This is common on cameras with focal plane shutters that are out of calibration (curtain travel times are no longer matched up). It will get worse wasting film; so it needs to be serviced...

Couldn’t agree more! As it’s been said, competition is good! And yes I’ve done the whole open the back with film in it. If you don’t do that can you really call yourself a true film photographer? 😂😂

All the random swastikas though

Thanks for the video. Going to try rating at 100 when my rolls arrive. Either that or manually meter for 120 which I think is the native film speed .

I find it quite funny that you used a Kodak box to store the new Ilford film in 😁 And BTW, don't waste your money filling tires with nitrogen; the air we breath is already 78% nitrogen.

Idk man, the pulled photos look absolutely incredible. Isn't that essentially shooting ISO 100?

That Ewan McGregor Jesus/Obiwan Kenobi picture makes me laugh every times.

I just subscribed your channel. It's awesome.

The pulled film reminds me of Pro400H a bit. Obviously more contrast and way less dynamic range, but them GREENS DOE. In a few years, this will be the shit.

Thanks for video👍. Am going to support the stock….😂…scouring google earth to figure out where u were❤

I always want to bring a roller and paint to erase graffiti when shooting, but I kinda want to do that everywhere too. And, film’s expensive enough.

Was it my imagination or did the Ricoh images at box speed have less grain than the Nikon FA at box speed? Ricoh metering letting in more light?

I didn’t know Jason looked like that in the wicker chair photo.

that scanning setup xD what lens is that?

nice hat👍🏻

Going to order a roll or two right now.

What flash and flash cord did you use in the FA? Looking for one on my F3.

Loved all the Harry Potter references

Are you guys wearing high vis vests so that it looks like your there in an official capacity in case anyone comes to ask what your doing? :) Excellent vid! Ordering this film today :)

I'll give this new stock a go... you said it's basically Ilford?

Actually, loved the Box speed photos more than the -1

It would have been nice if they sent me some - and I am in bloody England!

What lens did you have on the FA? 🤔

What was that alien circle cloud at 3:41 ????

Love the bit where you compare grain on a swastika 😂😂😂

Leave the photos on the screen a fraction of a nano-second longer. This isn’t tic-to where I have to rewind and pasue constantly to see wtf that the text comment says. I’m here to look at pictures, so let me. Otherwise, positive things to say, and I have decided to choose Phoenix as my primary film to support a third party and make it happen, I’ll evolve with it if I can. I think photography needs this more than it can afford to pass it off…for any reason.

Great road trip music 👍😉
