This is not the Ilford, ahem, Harman colour film I’m looking for. I’ve been trying out Harman’s Phoenix 200 film and it’s not what I was hoping for. It doesn’t seem to have a unique quality, rather it seems to be trying too hard to have too many of them...
A slight shock to the system recently about one of my favourite colour films. If anyone can shed further light on this it would be appreciated, please comment below. Who is now making Fuji C200 Film? This week I bought some new Fuji 200. By chance I happened to have...
The dream of the 90s is alive with Kodak Ultramax 400. I actually get rather nostalgic for consumer grade films that were available when I was growing up in the 1990s and 2000s. The results, as in the general look of the photographs that I get from these films is...

This 200 ISO colour film is inexpensive, the colours are accurate with a bit of vibrance, the film is sharp with minimal grain, and responds reasonably (but not as well as some) to editing. That said, the lack of editing capabilities isn’t really a problem if you just want photos...
Ilford FP4 (now FP4+) is known for being versatile, with usable results even when underexposed two stops or overexposed by up to six stops. It also develops very easily even if you mess up the temperatures of chemical concentrations which is why it is a very popular film for teaching...
This film is truly special because, not just because of how it looks during the day, but how you can be so creative with it in challenging or natural light. Kodak Pro Image 100 is a Professional 100 ISO colour film. Initially only available in the Asian market with a...

I’m a Leica Street photographer, traveller, avid reviewer, marketer and blogger. I am, by my own admission, a gear nut but I don’t buy gear just to test it or pixel peep.
