Each roll includes a QR code so you can share your feedback directly with Harman, helping to shape future releases. Sales from Phoenix II continue to support ongoing research and development of new colour films, meaning every roll you shoot helps keep the analogue revival alive and growing.

Scanning Made Easy

Phoenix II has been designed with scanning in mind. On Noritsu and Fuji lab scanners, it works well with default settings, though a few tweaks to contrast and colour balance will get the best results. Flatbed scanners like the Epson V850 produce vivid, well-balanced scans even on auto settings, making it ideal for enthusiasts processing at home. DSLR scanning also gives saturated, eye-catching images and great creative control.
