Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G ( Shot as Full Frame )
The 40mm 2.8G DX is an amazing lens. Its a shame its DX and not Full Frame. But, it can be used on a Full Frame camera with alot of lens vignetting. Color on the film photo has more contrast and more saturation. I left the digital Raw file as is, looks a bit dull but I like it.
I'm not a fan of expired film or the look it gives but my Mom found an old Kodak MAX 400 roll in a box somewhere. I wasn't sure if it had photos on it but the film leader was out. I decided to try and develop a couple frames to see. No photos, the roll was unused!
I then went to the most 1990's place I could think of... Town & Country Mall and took some shots.
Is Kodak MAX 400 just Kodak UltraMax 400? I'm not sure. It just had MAX in big bold letters on the cassette.
Cabana Bay is a really cool resort. Check out the cool midcentury style restrooms! The restrooms sign on the left has a shape of a woman in a skirt and a man with a tie.
The sign is on a dark cherry wood wall. The main teal backdrop wall looks to be some sort of plastic injection molding. Very cool.
I was really surprised how close they look. The biggest difference for me obviously is digital is faster and aside the cost of the camera, free. On the film side, film is a lot funner.
