“I’m new to Fujifilm,” I’ve heard about 20 times over the last two weeks or so. “Which Film Simulation Recipes are the best?”
With over 250 (and quickly approaching 300!) Film Simulation Recipes on the Fuji X Weekly App, it can be difficult to know which to use. There are so many to choose from! This, of course, is a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless—especially for those new to Fujifilm cameras and recipes. Where do you start? Which recipes should you try first? Which are the best?
Best is a subjective term, and what I might like best you might not. One person’s favorite might be another’s least favorite. I cannot tell you what you will like, but I can suggest recipes that you might like, because these are recipes that I like. The list below are some Film Simulation Recipes that I believe are the best. Your opinion of them might vary, and that’s just fine because we each have our own tastes and styles. Aside from these, there were probably 25 others that I strongly considered choosing, and I had to reluctantly skip. If your favorite didn’t make this list, please let me know in a comment; if one of these is a favorite of yours, let me know that, too!

The 10 Best Film Simulation Recipes on the Fuji X Weekly App
The Fuji X Weekly App is free, but becoming a Patron subscriber unlocks the best App experience. There are several Patron benefits, including Filtering the Film Simulation Recipes by camera or sensor, film simulation, color or B&W, and more. Patrons can Star their favorite recipes and use Colored Stars to organize them into groups. Also, Patrons get early-access to some new recipes months before anyone else (currently, as of this writing, there 13 Early-Access Recipes on the App). Besides all of that, Patrons financially support the work of this website, and it’s a great way to assist current and future projects.

Hi Ritchie,
Thanks for all the work that you do on the site and app, greatly appreciated.
I see three or four Kodachrome 64 recipes on the App. Which one is it?
Are you local to North County SD?

The different Kodachrome 64 recipes are each compatible with different cameras and sensor generations. The article links to the X-Trans IV recipe for the X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II:

Love em but disappointed at how few recipes there are for the XT3.
On the Fuji X Weekly App, there are 89 Film Simulation Recipes fully compatible with the Fujifilm X-T3.
