The images below were shot on the Contax RTS (roll 30).

I will speak more about my experience down below…

The images above were shot at home, in Seaton, in Sidmouth, in Lyme Regis and in Cardinham Woods in Cornwall. Let me start by saying that I find this film stock quite strange. I’m really not sure if I like it or not. Phoenix 200 Is a colour film but it was invented by the company Harman. Harman are the ones who bring you the B&W films such as Ilford and Kentmere. I believe this is their first time creating colour film so this is very experimental. These images are from the old Phoenix before they made changes to the new and current Phoenix. I have found that this film needs a lot of light. If you accidentally underexpose, then it is straight out impossible to make it look right in editing.
There was a lot of light present during these images and I rated the film at ISO 200 because that’s what it claims to be when in actual fact, you would probably be better off rating it at ISO 100 becuase that would let in a lot more light. I’m not sure about the newer stocks of Phoenix (I have heard it is better for these kinds of things) so I will have to do some more research and experimentation whenever I dive into this film stock again. 
In some of these images, I really like the colours. They look quite vintage and the grain is very apparent. This is not a fine grain film. The grain is noticeable and the grain is quite large. Even when zoomed out I can still see the grain and I don’t really have good eyesight to begin with. I was getting quite a lot of what looks like light leaks throughout the roll. Maybe it is a faulty roll. I have had a few every now and then on my Contax but not as many as this and so it makes me think that it is the film and not my camera. I am thinking this because I have shot many rolls through my Contax subsequent to this and again, this issue hasn’t been as constant and as severe as it was with this roll. 
All in all, the images that I have supplied are the ones that I like. I’m not overly excited about shooting this again but I most likely will shoot this again because I want to experiment with it and at the end of the day, if more companies especially ones that up until now only ever made B&W films decided to make a new colour film, then I think it is a great thing for the film industry as a whole.
