When you shoot a roll and scan it, it has a nice nostalgic feel, but grain and inherent softness are a lot more than people probably would expect, unless you regularly shoot film (cue hate mail from film photographers). We have a fairly nostalgic view of film but in reality, digital has surpassed it in terms of resolution and “quality”. The main reason is that most people would probably be turned off if it was 100% accurate.
I think this captures the essence of film, but not necessarily a completely realistic simulation. While I haven’t shot a lot of these particular colour socks, I have shot a good bit on film. I’m not really sure it’s 100% accurate to shooting the same film stocks - especially on 35mm.
Is it an accurate representation of film? The Fujicolour 800Z style is more contrasty and a bit warmer.
The looks have a distinctly cooler tone than the Kodak ones, and there is a desaturation of greens.
