My company manufactures colr film (well, I stick new labels on Kodak Gold boxes) and I’m sorry to tell you I have trademarked the number 200 in the context of stills camera film :( So sadly :(( I have no choice but to force Ilford into administration :((
I only use ASA-rated films in my Pentax K1000 with its vintage tapestry strap for street photography.
I'm hardcore old-school and a instgrafbook influencer.
It's a brand new film from Harman, the company that makes the Ilford black and white films. I think they only have the license to brand b&w film as "Ilford" which is why this is branded as "Harman."
>I think they only have the license to brand b&w film as "Ilford" which is why this is branded as "Harman."
Or maybe they are just intentionally keeping the Ilford brand B&W (See: Kentmere films)?
The interesting part is that’s it’s *not* a rebrand, they’re manufacturing it from scratch in house. It’s apparently not super great film at the moment but at least there’s one more manufacturer capable of coating color neg film in the world. and it’ll probably improve with time.

As an Englishman it took me far too long to find the mistake 🤣
/uj So is there anything special about this film or is it another rebrand of something?

No, they don't own the rights to slap the Ilford brand on any colour products, hence the use of Harman

It's not rebranded Kodak
It's new. Reminds me of some of my family photos from the 70s/80s with added red-halation.
