The original Fujicolor C200 Film Simulation Recipe is great! This isn’t intended to replace that Recipe—there’s no need to replace it, since it’s excellent—but instead provide an alternative option for those looking for something slightly different. One film can produce many different looks, depending on a host of factors, including how it was shot, developed, and printed or scanned. In this case, a Fuji X Weekly reader wanted a Recipe that more closely matched his particular Fujicolor C200 scans. Oh, and it needed to be compatible with the Fujifilm X100V and X-Pro3, which the original version is not.
Fujifilm introduced Fujicolor C200 in 1990 as a low-budget, consumer-grade color negative film. I’ve shot a few rolls of it over the years, although it was never my go-to option. Fujifilm gave it a small refresh in 2017. Sadly, in late 2021, Fujifilm began selling rebranded Kodak Gold 200 as Fujicolor C200. Even though C200 is a cheap color film, it has a cult-like following, and many people enjoy its aesthetic and choose it over more expensive emulsions.
This Fujicolor C200 v2 Film Simulation Recipe is an App Patron Early-Access Recipe. If you are a Fuji X Weekly App Patron, you have access to it right now. If not, no worries, as it will eventually be made available to everyone, once it is replaced by a new Early-Access Recipe. With the exception of the X-T3 and X-T30, it is fully compatible with X-Trans IV cameras: X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II. For fifth generation models, simply set Color Chrome FX Blue to Weak instead of Strong.

It was in the light of sunset
Again, shot with Minolta SRT101 1.4/58mm MC PF Rokkor and then the Crystal Paper shot with a Canon EOS 100D with the kitlens.
Is this Made in USA C200, Made in Japan C200, or Made in China C200? I’m not sure that the China version has made it to stores yet, so it’s probably not that one.
Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Unfortunately, I don’t have the package anymore, I shot it long time ago… I will look for it, who knows, maybe I’ll find it…
Hmmm, if it was a long time ago it was probably made in Japan.
I have some photos with the package, unfortunately not from the right side… https://bizitown.blogspot.com/2016/05/minune-mare.html
Yeah, definitely made in Japan. Thanks!
