Looking in my camera bag, there are a couple of rolls of Ilford XP2, my last roll of Harman Phoenix and the Phoenix II that came in recently. I haven’t actually processed any rolls of Ilford XP2 as C41 so thought it might be interesting to do a comparison of all three negatives.
From left to right is Ilford XP2, Harman Phoenix and Phoenix II.
Looking at them I can see that my camera should be nicknamed leaky. But to my eye, Phoenix II has a different base colour to Phoenix and XP2 which appear to be quite similar.
I didn’t get these scanned at the lab so these are “home” scanned on my Nikon D3. Above is Phoenix and below is Phoenix II.
From memory I did shoot Phoenix II at box speed and Phoenix at 100 ISO. The new film is a lot cooler and seems a bit underexposed to me. Maybe I should have rated it at 100 too.
Anyway, I still have a couple of rolls to try again.
