There are over 300 Film Simulation Recipes on this website and the Fuji X Weekly App. Having so many options to choose from is great, because no matter your style there’s bound to be at least one that you love, and different Recipes are sometimes best in specific situations. The only problem with having all these options is that sometimes it’s hard to know which ones to choose. There can be a paralysis of choice, or, at the very least, it can seem overwhelming.
But not to worry, I’m here to help! Over the last year I’ve been publishing articles to help with this specific problem—to be a guide of sorts through the many Recipes. There’s no comprehensive list (nor should there be, I think) of when to use each option, because whether or not a particular Recipe is great for a specific scenario is subjective. I might like one, but you might dislike it. However, I can provide some direction—something that I have been attempting to do over the last 12 months.
The problem with my method, though, is that it’s easy for my articles on this subject to get lost in the shuffle. So I thought it would be helpful to round them up, and put them into one place. That’s the intention of this article.
First up is my Which Film Simulation Recipe, When? series. If you only open one article, that’s the one to choose. I think it’s probably the most helpful out of all of them in this post. You might appreciate many of the others, too, so I would encourage you to click on more than one article to read, especially if the number of Film Simulation Recipes feels overwhelming to you, or you’re just not sure where to begin. I hope this helps with that, and you’ll have a little more confidence choosing some to program into your camera.

What recipes are suitable for GFX50s ii ?
Thank you
That’s a good question that I wish I had a more definitive answer to, but I’ve never used that camera to know for certain.
What I can tell you is that both X-Trans IV and X-Trans V are technically compatible; however, I’m not certain if the GFX50S II rendering is more similar to X-Trans IV or X-Trans V. Also, I’ve heard that Shadow should be adjusted by +0.5. I have no firsthand experience, though.
I hope this is helpful.
Wow Ritchie!

First, thank you for each of these posts. Second, thank you for curating them all in this one place! So very helpful.
Awesome! So glad to be helpful! 😀
Next will have to be Film Simulation Recipes for Surf Photography….
Yes! That would be amazing. Maybe a film recipe that couples the results from a common film stock through a Nikonos V/Nikon glass! I have a lifestyle photo shoot this weekend where I am looking forward to putting your Fujifilm Reala Ace recipe to work!
Can’t wait to see your Reala Ace pictures!
