An image from Expired Film Day 2026.
I knew I was going to be in York that day so I packed two 35mm AF SLR cameras for ease of use, a Canon EOS 30 (loaded with Kodak Gold 200 that expired in February 2014) and a Minolta Dynax 800si (loaded with Fuji Neopan 400 that expired in December 2011).
Developed by AgLab. Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
