Harman Technology, whose brands include Ilford Photo, has added four small accessories to its Harman Photo range: a case for 35mm film, a case for 120 film, a lens cloth on a keychain and a pocket notebook. They carry what Harman calls its new look Harman Photo branding, and they are aimed squarely at people who still load film by hand.
What’s new
The two film cases are the heart of the release. The 35mm case holds up to five rolls and comes in Harman Photo’s dark red, while the 120 case also takes five rolls and is finished in a dark teal. Kosmo Foto reports that both are plastic with a snap-shut lid, and that the rolls can go in loose or still in their own canisters and packaging.
The lens cloth keychain is a soft microfiber cloth that clips onto a camera bag, so there is always something clean to hand for a lens or viewfinder. The A6 notebook is compact and lined; Kosmo Foto adds that it is dark red and has a pocket inside the back cover for tickets and receipts.
The accessories sit alongside Harman Photo’s own film stocks, which its site currently lists as Harman Red 125, Phoenix II, Switch Azure and Phoenix 125, each in 35mm and 120.

Harman’s product pages list all four as available in stores, with a store finder rather than an online checkout, and Kosmo Foto says the film cases are on sale now. Kosmo Foto gives UK prices only.
What it means for film-look photographers
None of this changes how a frame looks, but anyone who shoots film at weddings or family sessions knows how much of the job is logistics. A case that keeps five rolls together and visible makes it easier to separate fresh film from exposed rolls during a long day, and two different colors for 35mm and 120 help if you carry both formats.
The notebook is a quietly useful addition too. Writing down which roll went into which camera, what you pushed and where the light changed is still the most reliable way to talk to your lab afterward, and a back pocket for receipts suits anyone who sends film off for development.
At these prices, they are small, practical upgrades rather than must-haves, and a sign that Harman is still investing in the everyday side of film photography.
