Profile notes
HARMAN RED 125 is HARMAN Technology's first purpose-built redscale film, announced on Valentine's Day 2025 in 35mm format and followed by 120 format in June 2025. Unlike DIY redscale (which re-spools conventional film backwards), RED 125 is professionally manufactured as a factory-finished redscale product based on the Phoenix emulsion. The absence of masking dyes and an anti-halation layer produces intense reds, oranges, and yellows, with a strong halation glow around highlights. The nominal ISO is 125, but the film can be shot anywhere from EI 50 to EI 400: lower exposure produces richer reds and coarser grain, while higher exposure brightens yellows and reduces contrast. Processed in standard C-41 chemistry. DX-coded at ISO 125. Available in 35mm (36 exp) and 120 formats.

HARMAN Phoenix
HARMAN Phoenix 200 is the first color negative film manufactured entirely at HARMAN Technology's Mobberley, UK facility. Launched in late 2023, it offers a distinctly expressive look with high contrast, prominent grain, and striking halation effects around bright light sources due to its lack of masking dyes and minimal anti-halation layer.

HARMAN Phoenix II
HARMAN Phoenix II 200 is a complete reformulation of the original Phoenix emulsion, launched in July 2025. It retains Phoenix's creative character but delivers cleaner color balance, finer grain, improved exposure latitude, and more neutral contrast compared to its predecessor — while still offering a distinct, non-mainstream look.
