These film simulation recipes are for Fujifilm X-Trans IV sensor cameras. X-Trans IV can be divided into two categories: X-T3 & X-T30, and X100V, X-Pro3, X-T4 & X-S10. The X-T3 & X-T30 cameras don’t have all of the JPEG options that later X-Trans IV models have. All of the X-T3 & X-T30 (as well as X-Trans III) film simulation recipes are compatible with the X100V, X-Pro3, X-T4 and X-S10; however, Grain, Toning (for B&W), and Double-Exposure (for those recipes that call for it) are different, so you’ll have to decide for yourself which equivalent settings should be used on your camera.

X-Trans III film simulation recipes are compatible with X-Trans IV cameras.

Hi
Just came across this site, and love what you are doing! Thank you .
I have a question though, when I create a sustom film simulation ( and save it in the custom film sim settings) , use it , but then decide I want to use one of the Fuji default film simulations, the settings in the camera created by the custom setting remain, thereby messing up the default Fuji simulations .
How do I switch from let’s say your custom classic slide , to the Fuji film classic chrome quickly without having to go through the entire menu system re-setting the different setting that have been changed by shooting the the custom classic slide.
Am I missing something?
I’m using x-pro 3.
Thanks
James

Fujifilm cameras used to have a “Base” setting (in addition to the Custom preset settings in the Q menu). But now, you have to assign one of the custom presets to be a base setting, with everything set to 0 (or whatever you want it to be). I hope this helps!

G’day Ritchie, Thank you so much for the work you’ve put in for these recipes, it’s given me a new lease on life ……dramatic I know… but after 50 years, it’s like a new toy for all my bodies. Speaking of which, I noticed in one of your recipe comments about nor being able to change wb options on “older’ cameras – I had the same problem but realized there can be up to 3 wb setting that can be -4r,-2b eg and the one can choose wb1 etc for a particular recipe. It only leaves 3 recipes ready but it’s something.
I’ve “bought” 2 of your recipes so far and will get more and hope people are doing the right thing to help in at least a small way.
Thanks again, Adrian

It’s always tough to recommend recipes because each person has different tastes. I assume you are asking for color (and not B&W), is this correct?
Kodachrome 64 is my first choice. It will have your deep blacks, but it won’t necessarily protect highlights: https://fujixweekly.com/2020/05/27/my-fujifilm-x100v-kodachrome-64-film-simulation-recipe/
Portra 400 is another option. It won’t have as deep of blacks, but it will better protect highlights: https://fujixweekly.com/2020/06/10/fujifilm-x100v-film-simulation-kodak-portra-400/
I think this Superia 800 recipe could be great option for you: https://fujixweekly.com/2020/07/27/fujifilm-x100v-film-simulation-recipe-fujicolor-superia-800/

Hi Ritchie,

I love to shoot in B&W and until now, I did not find the correct config with my FujiX100V.
Is it possible that you try to create a recipe B&W equal to LEICA Q2 MONOCHROM. I am sure it will be very appreciated by the community !
Thanks a lot for your feedback/advice

I appreciate the feedback! I’m not real sure exactly what the images from the Leica Q2 Monochrom look like. I’ve never used it myself, and it’s difficult to know on the internet when I’m looking at a sooc picture or software edited picture, or even which of those two options are most desired. It’s my understanding the advantage of the B&W Leica camera is higher resolution/detail, kind of like a Foveon camera without the high-ISO limitation.

Hello Ritchie,

Been wondering, why do you separate between X-T30 and X-S10 recipes. Don’t they have the same sensor?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Great question! While they have the same sensor, they don’t have the same options. Fujifilm redid some things starting with the X-Pro3, which leaves the X-T3 and X-T30 on an island, in a category by themselves. X-T30 recipes will work on the X-S10 (although, depending on the recipe, there are some decisions you’ll have to make, such as Grain size or B&W Toning, because the options are different), but recipes made for the newer X-Trans IV cameras won’t likely work on the X-T30. Same sensor, different JPEG options. Fujifilm could fix this, though, if they wanted to, and I really hoped that they wanted to, but it doesn’t seem like they do, unfortunately.
