I was explaining Fuji’s film sims to my wife - Velvia, Astia, Provia, and she said they all sounded like women on Game of Thrones.

"no classic chrome" *You have angered the swarm

"We teach you about presets, we don't try to sell them to you" - you get a like just for that ;) oh and I'm already subbed lol

The nice thing about Fuji is on many models you can bracket film sims and shoot a single image but have 3 different film sims applied and saved as 3 different images.

I'm happy we share the same view on simulations. I shoot monochrome(RAW) because I like the look and I can judge light a lot better. Then if I need colour on them I render them as Provia after. Those are my two absolute fav modes on my Xpro3.

Well done you Dynamic Duo! Thats why I'm still carrying around my PenF despite having more modern camera: there is nothing like seeing the final results before even taking the shot.

I was a photographer at the time that ASTIA was introduced. At that time I was shooting fine art nudes in nature situations . Before ASTIA, I used Provia and was very happy with it. When ASTIA was introduced, The literature said that the AST in ASTIA stood for “accurate skin tones“. I thought I would give it a try and found it to be perfect for the subjects I was shooting. I would still shoot ASTIA for portraits if I was shooting film. I tried the ASTIA mode in my X-Pfo3 and found that it did have some of the traits of the original film stock. But I haven’t been using it because due to COVID-19 I haven’t been photographing very many people. For color, I always used transparency film. Once I figured out my way of doing things, I started using strictly Fujifilm films. When I switch to digital, a switch to Nikon DSLR’s because I had been a Nikon shooter and had a large inventory of Nikon glass. I still love my old Nikons, but I was overjoyed 10 years ago when Fujifilm came out with their X mount series cameras. I could get that Fujifilm Color look.

The level of dad jokes is how you know Chris and Jordan have aged 🤣

Great informative video ! Its always harder to review the unmeasurable properly, without pouring overwhelming reference material to the audience. Greatly appreciated with your easy to understand, well explained review of the unmeasurable art!

"No classic chrome" *clicks off video* Just kidding - but I actually really enjoy the look of CC with the color boosted and the shadows brought down a hair! (Definitely doesn't look the best with default settings)

Love how the intros keep getting better. You guys have been on a roll recently.

Very informative as usual. Thank you guys!

As always, thanks for the great content and humour! I never miss, even if it's about a camera that I don't have. Knowledgeable and no-nonsense advice :-)

So glad you guys did this video! 👏

This is why I love watching you guys!

I tend to always shoot in provia, but I also always shoot only raw, then convert it to jpeg in camera. Works flawless for a small batch of photos 👌🏼

Hi, just subscribed, but have been watching your videos with some interest for the last 2 years. Thanks, always a useful perspective and very informative. I've been playing with recipes a lot (on C2 - C7) recently as well as using the "film" presets. That's fun with fuji...

Amazing work as usual! Mad respect from Berlin ✊

I really enjoyed this little video. Your enthusiasm for just going out and taking some pictures for the hell of it. That's exactly right. I have a Fuji X30. It's not the sensor, or the camera, but it's the attitude of mind. There's a place for serious and a place for enjoyment. Happy snapping, folks...

Fuji presets and the dials is what drew me to the system and just love it. Monochrome is my number 1 way to shoot, but the other sims are great also... Thanks guys...

Love this content!

Like and Subscribed! Great episode!

Love your vid!!! Thank you.

Very good review 🎥

Would've been cool to film this with a Fuji camera with the the simulations on when talking about them.

Thanks for your comments. I was brought up on monochrome, long before these clever digital cameras existed. It's still my favourite mode.

Loved the video . I agree . The E option looks just great as does the standard BE option . I also like using that option on Olympus cameras , as it requires so little work in processing and the same appears to work on the phone , as colour is far too distracting on occasions . I was watching somebody using a simple film camera with a fixed shutter and aperture . Boy, those shots looked classic and evocative . It appears modern lenses are way too shape and the bodies have too many megapixels . We need to do more evocative pictures that speak to the soul of us. I think that will be my aim for 2022. What will you guys do to recapture the magic

Just used Eterna shooting a few video courses for work and I don't even need to touch the colours. 😀 With a few adjustments and correct exposure you can get a great look all in camera!

nice, thank you for this great video!

classic chrome is my fav. and classic negative, too

Thank you, this was very helpful. As someone who will start a career with photos of eggs under soft window light it gave me the perfect tip.

Chris, you nailed it! Monochrome is my fave.... I have started bracketing the sims too and never felt the need to shoot RAW.

ASTIA must be the best simu for summer, and I really like the feel of eterna bleach bypass

Just got back from the camera store with a silver X100V. I can't wait to try these out!!!

I totally agree on what you said about Provia, it's also my first choice of colour profile when shooting JPG

Neo pan! Damn it, Chris. I almost forgot about that.

The more you speak about fuji thé more I love you guys 😊👍

Thank you for this video. I will definitely try Monochrome over Acros on my next outing. I have tended to lean too much on Velvia lately. It's time to be bold and venture onwards to new simulations.

One of the best starts to a video ever! :D

Thank you for this great video! It was fundamental for my decision to keep my XS-10.

Best video on Fuji film simulations. Thank you.

Monochrome is my all time fave too! Almost all my shots are done this way. As an old Pratt drop out I grew up on film and love love it!!

Been waiting for this. Hoping to purchase the X-T4 soon

I love that I have 6 presets using so many depending on my mood. Thank you Fuji X Weekly! My most common is X100V with Kodachrome. But I loved Ektar on my recent Colorado trip.

I love Classic Chrome, such an understated look. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Love to use the different simulations

Subscribed xx love your channel I have a nikon d500. Fujifilm x100f xpro 3 and xt3... love cameras lol

Classic Chrome by itself is a little eh for me as well, but using it to make the Portra 400 film recipe is fantastic and I use it constantly. Just be sure to change the white balance.

As always, a superb video / Ulf

Personally I absolutely love Eterna. I remember watching a Camera Conspiracies video and when I saw the first sequence in Eterna I bought the XT4 based on how amazing it looked to me. Wasn’t particularly looking for another camera at the time and was content using my old 70D, but seeing that Eterna made me really want one.

love it. I wish you could go over the all film smilations or maybe compare some filters across all the brands

Please do a video about favorite custom film simulations! Making a custom simulation with custom white balance is the most fun part about Fuji IMO.

LOL that's why I love the film simulations, room for different taste and styles. Mine are completely different than yours: 1. Astia: travel/indoors. I love the blue tones on this with some chrome blue colors enabled. 2. Classic Chrome: Documentary, people, focus more on action than colors. I use this when I'm invited at an event or for street photog. 3. Velvia: para nature / sunny, punchy. I live in Costa Rica and this is my favorite for sun rise and sunset colors. 4. Acros: B/W love it!! I shoot in B/W for personal projects. 5. Classic Negative: grunge, with hard on shadows, vintage

you guys are the best!

sehr schöne, konkrete Vorstellung mit den Möglichkeiten der Filmsimulations

Chris: no classic chrome that one is gross! Every Fujifilm User: is typing........ 😂

Loved the video and information. I think "Provia" is nice filter.

Interesting video. I will definitely follow your channel.

Yesss. Monochrome to me looks better than Acros to me too. I think Canon had the best jpeg system since you can make your own jpeg profiles with the camera window. My favourite is Velvia because I'm an amateur newbie who likes to shoot colour. But I'm learning the difference between saturated colour and rich colour. ✌️

New convert form Oly to Fuji - love the film sims. I use film bracketing, and it is har to pick just 3! Especially when you are colur blind!

Interesting for me as a new user on x100v good vid guys keep it up. 😊

Great topic. Have you tried a converted full spectrum camera with a 720nm or even a 830nm IR filter in B&W. Very fun creative option. Then you can always put on a visible band pass filter for those natural landscape or street photos.

Even though I like Classic Chrome so much to the point that it's pretty much only the film simulation I use, it's only because I can't afford to get an X-Pro 3 yet to use that sweet sweet Classic Neg. 😂 Great work as always! Had me wheezing on the intro joke. 🤣🤣

Eterna for photo can be also pretty interesting option, depends on scene. With my manual lens, I tend to shoot Eterna with color +4 and some wb shifts, and it gives really natural looking greens without crushed shadows as in Provia (I also put s-tone and h-tone on -2, and blacks in Provia even on -2 seems leaning towards crushing all the time, but it depends on lenses).

I'm fully agree with you. Those are also my best film simulations

God, I love the beginning of your videos every time XD

When I was a film shooter I always bought Velvia 50, not 100 because the 50 iso was a lot more saturated. I shot a lot of Acros 100, and T-Max 100 too. I loved Kodak Techpan too (25 iso) because it was just so fine grained and detailed with a contrast boost. It felt like shooting medium format but in 35mm. I miss the film days. That said, I'd love to experiment with some Classic Neg at this point in my life and maybe shoot some roadside diners and route 66 Americana with it. Could be cool.

Classic Chrome is all-time #1 for me

Can't recall the last time I shot with presets. I think if I had a Fujifilm camera I'd probably would have given their film simulation modes a try as I often shot with Provia and Velvia films back in the day during my travels.

Velvia is my absolute favorite, especially in landscapes.

This channel should have 1 million subscribers already

Peace: **existing** Chris & Jordan: **this video**

I used to scoff at Astia too. i used provia and Valvia the most and pro neg hi. Now i like to use Astia and pro Neg standard but totally agree with you on Classic Chrome

Monochrome+R on my little X-T10 is pretty nice. Prints well, too.

I've been playing with some custom color profiles for my Nikon Z6 - it's absolutely amazing how much more versatile it makes the camera! Loaded it up with 10, and now I find I barely need to tweak anything in post for everyday shots.

Personaly, since i discovered FujiWeekly ´s recipes, i’m in a new world 🤗

Subscribed boys

I use the B&W profile on my Sony's when using the DMR or manual focus mode and shooting RAW, it makes the focus peaking really stand out regardless of the scene illumination and the colour information is still there to work with later.

Love your videos..would you include food as well as an example to how cameras are performing? And what is the best budget camera for food Videography and photography for you?

Monochrome is excellent! Always been my favorite, even more than Acros.

I use Nostalgic negative on my 100S most of the time, also love Acros and Classic Chrome.

Love provia, excellent skintones and nice allrounder

I use "Photoscape X" image editor, and I use Provia and Velvia a lot. Check out the "645 PRO" camera app. It has the film simulations that are quite interesting.

And I don’t even have a Fuji camera yet but I’d love to shoot some of these simulations when I pick one an XT4 🥺 It seems like it’ll make photography and filming so much more fun.

and WB too, happily using GR2 finding my own preferred WB + simulation is fun

I hope Fuji brings nostalgic neg to their x trans 4 cameras. A lot of their brand new cameras don’t have it. Bring it to the x100v, xs-10 and xt-4

Woohoo! Neopan 1600 pushed one stop was my favourite by far :)

Ha, I prefer the Monochrome over Acros as well. Appreciated your honest opinions.

Gfx cameras can have the film simulations applied to the raw photos in lightroom. Look in the profiles area when editing a Fuji raw file and you'll see it.

That was quite an informative list for me, will try to give Provia and monochrome another go after it. Also now I feel weird because I was mostly shooting Astia and CC before seeing this. Anyways, good job guys!

Great demo! Fuji should add a bracketing of all their film simulations (and not only 3) in the next Fuji XT3/4 update, only my suggestion. To the Fuji team, hurry up !

Make photography great again. Well done

I was really hoping you would touch on custom simulation recipes

I shot b&w for over 50 years, and I also like monochrome with green filter for how it treats skin tones.😊

Classic Neg is based on Fuji Superia 100. It can be somewhat desaturated when exposed properly or under. Just like the actual Superia films you have to overexposure Classic Neg a bit to get nice vibrant colors. I have it set to +1 color and both color chrome effects set to weak.

@5:20 “It’s an E on the dial” “Oh, I see it” Your comedic timing as a duo is amazing. Strong exhale of air out of my nose on that one.

Nice and custom Fuji recipes are even more exciting :)

The marriage of Velvia and the American West with my Canon A-1 gave me some of my best images and so many memories of the early 90s. Fuji wins the award for color science.

The film simulations are one of my favorite things about my X-T4. Good to know that I should use Astia for all of those 'egg in a window' pictures I take

Wise wise words, Chris! Coming from a Nikon D810 I always shot RAW, because raw is king, raw always raw, maximum latitude and blablabla, finding myself in many boring situations where I enjoyed the shooting and I just wanted to get my nice pictures looking good straight outta the camera. Then my GF bought a Nikon Z50 and oh my: I rediscovered the pleasure of just putting the camera into Auto and point-and-shoot or use the creative colors to get some funny results out of family & friends events. Let's spread some JPEG love!
