Thanks for taking the time to put this together - we love the comment 'the contrast is still there' :) Yes, it's definitely still Phoenix but you got some fantastic results. The tip about using some blank C41 with the colour mask when printing is interesting we'll have to give that a try next time.
We had our sunniest summer in a few years but even so definitely not as harsh sunlight as you've got! Interesting to see the limits of where pulling helps with contrast.
I loved that you actually printed this film stock. The Luddite in me has zero interest in scanning so it is good to see that it’s possible to get decent prints in the darkroom with some effort.
The best channel for actual film photography. No bs, just as authentic as when Ribsy prints colour. I am not a big fan of scans, there are digital cameras for those kinds of pictures.
Yes; it’s too bad color film photographers need digital steps along the chain from exposure to print. I think that, most if not all, digital scanning makes film prints look somewhat digital. Digital still and motion pictures look like they were shot through a layer of tinted plastic wrap to me. It’s not a look I like.
I live less than 10 miles from the Harman/Ilford factory in the NW England. We have had one of the worst summera that I can remember as far as clear warm days are concerned. I think in August we just had less than a wedk of sunshine and the temp has been about 7C below average for !ost of the month, and last week the night temp dropped to 3C. These ate Dec/ Jan temperatures. So enjoy your proper summer. Great results BTW.
I'm sure it's already been said, but if Ilford ask you then I'd definitely add my voice to the crowd of people asking for them to *please please please* put this emulsion onto sheet film! If they can maintain the same price scaling between B&W and colour that they use in their 35mm stocks then I might actually be able to afford to regularly shoot large format in colour!
Interesting video. I have a roll of exposed Phoenix in 35mm that I've yet to develop, so it'll be interesting to see how that turns out. I'm also definitively getting some Phoenix in 120 format as soon as it's in stock in stores where I live.
Looks better in 120, the grain is far less obvious. I wish there was something like a T-grain 35mm color film... I loved the red and the green in the pictures, It would be good to see how it handles the blue. The RA-4 print has no competition, the scans lack the punch of the lab print.
@TheNakedPhotographer, yes, that's definitely a strange comment. While I myself prefer the "squared away" look, I really don't care what you look like. I sub for the technical knowledge. Speaking of which, I've been into photography probably longer than you've been alive and I still learn things from you. Of all the photography channels here on YT, there are barely a handful that I can say that about. Keep up the good work.

Really great that you tried printing it optically as well, thanks!

For an experimental film it really doesn't look bad. Very promising for the future development of this project.
Yes, people seem to forget that this is a first draft, not a final product

Happy you got some rolls! :)

I thought pretty much all color film had tabular grain.
Harman hasn’t made any claim this was part of the tabular Delta line of films
Try Ektar 100
I'm glad your hair is back. You no longer look as gulag prisoner.
Thank you, I guess? That’s a weird way to compliment someone
