Those who have been around Fujifilm for awhile likely have a good idea of which Film Simulation Recipes they like, and probably have their favorites programmed into their camera. But there are many newcomers to the system, as well as some who have been around awhile but are looking for a new Recipe to try. If you are unsure, you’ll find some solid suggestions below.

The idea for this article has been in my head since the beginning of the year—now that January is over, I figured I better get to it before it’s too late. For this post, I didn’t want to offer the usual set, and I also didn’t want to fill the list full of the most popular Recipes; instead, I wanted to include some that were overlooked, that maybe you haven’t yet tried even if you’ve been around for awhile. I also didn’t want it to be strictly Recipes for the newest models (although I focused much more on the newer cameras than the older ones because that’s what most are using).

Without further ado, and in no particular order, below are 26 Fujifilm Recipes to try in 2026!

The PRO Negative 160C Recipe uses the Reala Ace Film Simulation, which means that it is only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF. But, there is a version that uses PRO Neg. Hi, which is compatible with “newer” fourth-generation models. This Recipe is quite versatile, producing a negative film aesthetic similar to Fujicolor PRO 160C that works well in most situations. While it leans slightly warm and vibrant, overall it remains fairly neutral and true-to-life.

Agfa Ultra 100 v2 is a warm Recipe that leans towards green, and is best for sunny daylight situations, although I’ve had some good luck using it in natural-light indoor situations, as well as at night. Because it uses the Nostalgic Neg. Film Simulation, it is only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF.

Another Nostalgic Neg.-based Recipe, Kodak Vericolor VPS is good for both sunny and cloudy situations. It produces a late-1970’s to early-1980’s color negative film vibe. It is only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF.

The Kodak Vision3 250D Recipe uses Eterna, and there’s a version for both the X-T3/X-T30 and “newer” fourth-generation models; however, this Kodak Vision3 250D v2 Recipe has Nostalgic Neg. as the base instead of Eterna. It produces a warm look that is great for sunny daylight situations. This version of the Recipe is only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF.

Nostalgic Americana is one of my favorite Nostalgic Neg.-based Recipes. It produces an aesthetic similar to color photos printed in magazines (such as Arizona Highways) back in the 1960’s and ’70’s, with a lot of grain and a warm cast. This Recipe is best for sunny daylight situations. It’s only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF.

Fujifilm has displayed two of my photographs at some of their events, and both were captured with this Classic Color Recipe. It has similarities to my Kodak Portra 400 v2 Recipe, but isn’t identical. It’s most ideal for sunny daylight situations, but I did have some luck with it at night. This Recipe is compatible with “newer” fourth-generation models (X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II), fifth-generation cameras (X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III), and recent GFX releases (GFX100S, GFX100 II, GFX100S II, GFX100RF).

This Kodak Portra 400 Recipe is for fourth-generation X-series cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—plus the GFX100S. There’s also a version for the X-T3/X-T30 (plus GFX100). To use this Recipe on fifth-generation cameras, simply set Color Chrome FX Blue to Off instead of Weak. It produces a warm look similar to the iconic film of the same name. If you’ve been around awhile you’ve likely already tried it, but if you are new to Fujifilm you might not yet have programmed it into your camera.

The Elite Chrome 200 Recipe is a facsimile of Kodak’s low-budget version of Ektachrome E200, a “high ISO” consumer-grade slide film from the 1990’s and early 2000’s. It’s best for sunny daylight situations. This Recipe is for fourth-generation X-series cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—plus the GFX100S; for use on fifth-generation models (plus newer GFX), simply set Color Chrome FX Blue to Off instead of Weak.

Kodak Pro 400 is an approximation of Portra 400 using Reala Ace instead of Classic Chrome. It’s best for sunny daylight situations, although I did have some good luck with it in natural-light indoors, as well as at night. It’s warm, but less warm than other Portra-like Recipes. Because it uses Reala Ace, it is only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF.

Classic Amber, which is the first in this list that uses Classic Negative, is a very warm Recipe that produces striking results in the right situations (mainly, sunny daylight). When it works, it really works; when it doesn’t, it really doesn’t. This Recipe is compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF. For “newer” fourth-generations cameras, blue won’t be quite as deep, but the results will be quite similar overall, so feel free to try it anyway.

This is another warm Recipe that utilizes Classic Negative, and is best for sunny daylight situations. Fujicolor 100 Gold is for fourth-generation X-series cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—as well as the GFX100S. For fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), it will render blue just a little more deeply, but the results will be quite similar overall, so feel free to try it anyway.

The Old Kodak Recipe has similarities to Vintage Kodachrome and Kodachrome 1. It’s compatible with “newer” X-series models—X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—as well as the GFX100S. For fifth-generation cameras (and the latest GFX), simply set Color Chrome FX Blue to Weak instead of Strong. While this Recipe is warm, it’s quite versatile, and can be used in a lot different situations.

Eterna Summer produces a warm, cinematic aesthetic that’s best for sunny daylight situations. This Recipe is compatible with “newer” fourth-generation models (X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II), fifth-generation cameras (X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III), and recent GFX releases (GFX100S, GFX100 II, GFX100S II, GFX100RF).

This SantaColor Recipe is not necessarily for Christmas, but for sunny daylight situations. While warm, it leans more red-orange than yellow. This Recipe is compatible with fourth-generation cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—and the GFX100S. For fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), it will render blue just a little more deeply, but the results will be quite similar overall, so feel free to try it anyway.

The only Eterna Bleach Bypass-based Recipe in this list, Ferrania Solaris FG 400 produces striking results. This is another warm Recipe that’s intended for sunny daylight situations. It’s for “newer” fourth-generation cameras—X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—as well as the GFX100S; for fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), set Color Chrome FX Blue to Off instead of Weak.

A “memory color” aesthetic of photographic prints from the ’90’s, Nostalgia Color uses Classic Negative and has a warm cast that’s perfect for sunny daylight. This Recipe is compatible with fourth-generation cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—and the GFX100S; for fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), set Color Chrome FX Blue to Off instead of Weak.

Superia Premium 400 might be the most overlooked of the various Superia-like Recipes. It leans warm, more towards red than yellow. This Recipe is for sunny daylight situations, but I’ve also had good luck with it on dreary days. It’s compatible with fourth-generation cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—and the GFX100S; for fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), set Color Chrome FX Blue to Off instead of Weak.

Probably my favorite Recipe for indoor artificial light situations, Fujicolor NPS 160 Pulled is a great allrounder if you want a subdued aesthetic. This might be the most underrated Recipe in this list. It’s for fourth-generation cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—and the GFX100S; for fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), set Color Chrome FX Blue to Off instead of Weak.

For a slightly cool color cast, try the AgfaChrome RS 100 Recipe. In situations where other Recipes are too warm, this is a good one to use. It’s compatible with fourth-generation cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—and the GFX100S; for fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), set Color Chrome FX Blue to Weak instead of Strong.

The Fujicolor C200 v2 Recipe somehow seems both warm and cool simultaneously. It’s best for sunny daylight, but I’ve had good luck with it in overcast situations, indoors, and at night. This Recipe is for fourth-generation cameras—X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10, X-E4, and X-T30 II—and the GFX100S; for fifth-generation models (and the latest GFX), set Color Chrome FX Blue to Weak instead of Strong.

The most vibrant Recipe in this group, Vivid Velvia produces dramatically colorful pictures. It’s quite versatile, just as long as long as you’re after a vibrant aesthetic. This Recipe is compatible with fourth (except X-T3/X-T30) and fifth-generation X-series cameras, as well as “newer” GFX models.

Fluorescent Night is the only Recipe in this list that’s specifically intended for nighttime photography. Because it uses the Nostalgic Neg. Film Simulation, it is only compatible with fifth-generation X-series cameras—X-H2s, X-H2, X-T5, X-S20, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III—as well as the latest GFX models: GFX100 II, GFX100S II, and GFX100RF.

Moody Monochrome is a contrasty black-and-white Recipe that uses Acros+Ye. Compatible with fourth (except X-T3/X-T30) and fifth-generation X-series cameras, as well as “newer” GFX models.

This is Fujifilm’s first official Recipe—created by fashion designer, producer, and artist Hiroshi Fujiwara—which was included in a limited edition GFX100RF. I asked for and received permission to publish FRGMT B&W on Fuji X Weekly. It’s for fourth (except X-T3/X-T30) and fifth-generation X-series cameras, as well as “newer” GFX models.

Agfa Scala is one of the older Recipes on Fuji X Weekly, published in 2018. It’s modeled after a B&W slide film that was discontinued, then later brought back. This Recipe is for X-Trans III cameras, plus the X-T3/X-T30; however, I’ve used it on newer models, setting Grain size to Weak, Color Chrome Effect and Color Chrome FX Blue to Off, and Clarity to 0 or +1.

Classic B&W, which uses Acros+G, is great for everyday monochromatic photographs. Compatible with fourth (except X-T3/X-T30) and fifth-generation X-series cameras, as well as “newer” GFX models.
