The Maxxum 4 was one of the lesser models in the range, and came with either a 50mm f1.8, or the 28-80mm f3.5-5.6. These were all taken with the latter, but the lens has some problems. The AF won’t work past the 60mm setting, and the front element group is a bit wobbly, so I planned on shooting it in manual mode all the time. Luckily, the Maxxum 4 remembers all settings when you turn the camera off, so I didn’t have to worry about forgetting to turn off the AF.
With the camera sporting a load of Kodak BW400CN, I took off to nowhere in particular, winding up at the Booker T. Washington National Monument in Franklin County, VA. It is on the plantation where he was born into slavery, and nine years later was freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. He went on to build the Tuskegee Institute, and become a strong voice in the struggle for equal rights.
Below is a sampling of the test photos.
