Shot a roll of Phoenix, and I’m not sure how I feel about it lol
It looks like that because your lab is not using a correct profile for the film when they scan it.
Instead of making one specific for Phoenix, they are using what they have.

Thanks to the influence of this forum, I have an FM2 and roll of Portra 800 on the way 😎 It will be the first 35mm film I’ve shot in the last 20 years.

I had read a lot of people like it when shot at 100, but figured since it was my first roll, I would shoot at box speed. Will def trying shooting it a 100 next time.
Cheers
It's natively 125 ISO, no idea why they rated it at 200. If you can pull in development, then 100 is fine. If you're going to develop as normal, 160 ISO is probably better.
After starting to shoot film again, I discovered a roll in a Nikon, a couple rolls in Hasselblad backs, and 8 film holders (4x5) with exposed film. I developed the 35 roll in Rodinol, and that had fairly significant base fog. (14 year old film.) The 4x5 was labeled "7/07" I assumed the 120 was also 14 years old.
I've been shooting some 15 exp test rolls of Tmax (expired 1991 but stored in the freezer) and developing in D-23 with some benzo. Roll 1 was gray cards, rolls 2 and 3 were gray cards with a couple photos.
The problem with benzotriazole is the lack of info on how much benzo to add and what exactly it does. I found a research paper out of the RIT archives saying 0.1 g/L is a "standard" amount and characteristic curves showing about a 1 stop loss of speed throughout the curve. I started testing with 0.03 g/L and tonight, developed with 0.01 g/L. The roll looks good, but it was only 6 years old, not 14 like the 35mm roll. I think 0.1 g/l is way too much expect for heavily aged film.
Here's a couple of test photos from a local walk.
It was pretty dark by the time I shot the last one. It was a cold walk home.

That's actually what I'm currently bulk loading!
The Ultrafine Xtreme films are scheduled to be back in stock by January 15, 2025! They re-designed the packaging, but hopefully it's the same film that went out of stock a few years ago. I plan to buy a bulk roll of the Ultrafine eXtreme 400 as soon as it's available.
