My second attempt with Harman Phoenix 200, this time I metered most shots around 125 or 100 iso, which worked quite a bit better. Though I still had more under than overexposed shots.

Also, I'm very much a telelens person. This was another instance of me forcing myself to shoot with the wide-angle prime. I would've loved to see the 50mm version of this shot

Oh, according to my notes this was shot at f/5.6 and 1/250th. I also had one at 1/1000th, which is what I actually metered it at as far as I can remember. While that shot has more detail in the highlights, most of the image is underexposed. Phoenix (1) really is a difficult film to satisfy, curious to see how Phoenix II changes things

what kinda meter are you using? I feel like f5.6 1/250 seems maybe ~2 stops slow for the shadows. Although the buildings might've been lost in the light at say f4 1/125. Do you know if harmon Phoenix likes being underexposed or overexposed?
