Ricoh GR owners rejoice! I just published a new Recipe Collection, called The California Negative Collection, for the Ricoh GR III and Ricoh GR IIIx cameras! Find it at Ritchie’s Ricoh Recipes, and on the Ricoh Recipes App!
Also, the Ricoh Recipes App received an update, which fixed some bugs and added the ability to search for recipes by name. If you have the App, be sure to update it manually if your phone didn’t do so automatically.

Cool thanks! any way to improve the positive film sim on GR 3 to make it look more like the original GR? Thanks!
I’ve taken a look it this, and it is much trickier than it might seem at first glance. I think the sensor plays a big role, and the 16mp has more character but is less crisp, while the 24mp is more clinical and technically “better” but with less character, and I think that effects the aesthetic. Not to mention that Pentax altered the color science and settings between these models for some reason. I appreciate the suggestion!
What would be the closest simulation to these for X-Trans III (If any)?
Love the calif blues and it’s making me jealous of Ricoh users!
Fujifilm and Ricoh have a different color science and JPEG options, so you’re not going to find anything identical. However, let me offer these suggestions:
For something somewhat similar to Vibrant Analog, try…
Kodak Ektachrome 100SW, Ektachrome E100GX, Classic Kodak, Kodak Ultramax
For something somewhat similar to Vibrant Teal, try…
Cross Process (for X-T30, which uses Classic Chrome, and is compatible with X-Trans III), Cine Teal
For something somewhat similar to Vintage Print, try…
Kodak GT 800-5, Vintage Kodacolor, Aged Color
For Something somewhat similar to Chrome Slide, try…
Classic Slide, Classic Chrome
For something somewhat similar to Aged & Faded, try…
Vintage Agfacolor, Xpro, Melancholy Blue
For something somewhat similar to Cross Process, try…
Cross Process (for X-Trans III, which uses Provia)
I hope this helps!
Wow, thank you – I’ll check them all out!
Hi Richie, I’m reading all your post for Fujifilm recipes and like them all, and glad you have recipes for Ricoh as well. I’m currently Pentax shooter and considering move to Fuji world for sooc jpg quality, only want to do at first as cheap as possible just to test at first, so my current minimal camera choice is X-A3, could you please confirm my choice is right to get from camera at least Chrome Classic and Pro Neg. based recipes.
Back to Ricoh receipts… If you need to translate Fuji WB shift to Ricoh WB shift, how do you do when Ricoh/Pentax has differently color axes compared to Fuji? e.g. Ricoh uses B-A, G-M where Fuji B-Y, G-R. e.g. when I want Cyan cast for the sky, in Pentax/Ricoh I would set WB shift B+2,G+1 (as Ricoh has more steps in scale steps numbers should double) so how this would translate to Fuji WB? Or shall I ask opposite, what WB shift in Fuji cameras would be for slight Cyan colour cast?
Thanks a lot for your recipes!
The X-A3 has a few Recipes, but not many. It also doesn’t have C1-C7. It’s not the best option for a Fujifilm experience, but it’s not a bad camera, either. I owned one for a short time. I’d buy an X-E2 or (even better) X-E3 instead, if you can.

These Recipes will also work on the X-A3, but will render differently (which you might or might not like):

As far as the WB difference between Ricoh and Fujifilm X, they’re definitely different. It’s not 1:1. To move towards cyan on Fujifilm, it’s typically minus blue (so towards yellow) and minus red (so towards green), but exactly what depends on a lot of things, including the film simulation, the kelvin temp of the WB, Color Chrome FX Blue (for cameras with that, the X-A3 doesn’t), the Highlight and Shadow settings, Color, and the exposure.
