HARMAN RED 125 Redscale Film (35mm Roll Film, 36 Exposures)

What Is Redscale Film?

‘Redscale’ describes the effect you get when shooting through the back of a color film. By doing this you are exposing your image through the film’s base and the red sensitive layer first while also significantly reducing the impact of the blue sensitive layer. When accurately exposed, this typically removes the blue from the image whilst creating almost monochromatic results primarily consisting of reds, oranges and yellows.

HARMAN’s Color Project

With the launch of HARMAN Phoenix 200 in December 2023, HARMAN kicked off its long-term color project with sales from this film going back into this quest. The limited edition HARMAN RED 125 film is the perfect next step in this journey. Based on the Phoenix emulsion, this rescale film has a clear base, no anti-halation layer, and high red & green sensitivity which makes it the perfect emulsion for a redscale film, ensuring minimal speed loss.

Exposure and Scanning

Overexposure will typically give finer grain and more dominant orange and red tones. Under exposure will show more greens, coarser grain, and prominent shadows:

• • Underexposure – Coarser grain, prominent shadows, and subtle greens.
• • Normal exposure – Normal grain, stronger orange tones, and softer shadows.
• • Overexposure – Finer grain, higher contrast, and dominant red/orange tonalities.

Harman Red should be processed in C41/CN16 processing chemicals. No processing adjustment is required for bracketed exposures.

• • Unlike standard colour films, the emulsion layer on redscale films is on the reverse. Therefore, for best results when the orientation of the emulsion can be easily reversed by using a reloadable cartridge if necessary.
• • Can be easily scanned on a range of commercial scanners.
• • With other C41 process films, Digital Image Correction and Enhancement (Digital ICE) can be used to remove dust and scratches automatically from the image.
