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

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?

    Sorry I missed this comment before. I used an app on my phone for this called Lightmeter, because my camera is quite unreliable sometimes. Phoenix doesn't have a lot of dynamic range, and while it's listed as iso 200, most people have reported better results shooting at 125 and developing normally. It's an experimental film and struggles a lot with underexposure. I don't think there would've been any exposure where I could've gotten the shadows and highlights properly exposed together, the highlights probably don't have a lot of headroom anymore
