dude that you so much, I really appreciate that!

Thanks Alan I appreciate that!

Hey dude! thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I might just have to!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Planning on picking up the XT5!!

Hey Jordan, so for film recipes, you only really get them on a .jpg, so if you shoot with your settings on RAW & .jpg then the camera will spit out both. One with the recipe (.jpg) and one without (RAW). I usually just bank the .jpg's and only use the RAWs in Lightroom. then once you're in Lightroom you can toggle the image to be black and white and edit from there. I know lots of people love the .jpg's and recipes you can get from this camera but for me having a file that you can adjust much more is more important. So my recommendation is shoot in Acros film simulation (make sure you have RAW & .jpg on then make that RAW black and white in Lightroom and edit from there. you can always look back at the .jpg black and white for inspiration!

haha ya tweet them for me

Hey thanks man!!

Thanks Nick! Appreciate that!

Absolutely, you're totally right, you could probably find a way to print just about anything... BUT for me, I like to print my stuff locally and unfortunately there's not too many options. The places I have around me to do my prints don't really have the best tech and for some reason they don't turn out right if it's not a file from a higher megapixel sensor. (I live in a smaller city in Southwest Ontario) I'd love to have a printer myself but that's not really in the cards at the moment! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Michael, I totally agree, you need both to understand the importance of having a smaller camera! Again, thanks for watching!

Hey! I think I mentioned my Sony being too big for an everyday camera.. so I think I’ll be picking up a fuji xt5 soon to replace!

I primarily shot manual, but if I did use a film simulation I used Acros black and white for sure. I always kept it in the settings where it would write a .jpg as well as the raw file so I could always have a raw version of the film sim shot!

So funny thing.. my hands were a little too big for easily being able to use the aperture ring on the lens so I usually just kept it on f2. And I know you're not going to be getting the same result then if you used the range of the aperture, but for me the fact that it sucked to trying and find that little aperture ring all the time made me only really adjust the shutter speed and ISO almost exclusively. For presets, I rarely use anything but my own presets that I've made over the years. Each project or set of photos I usually adopt a preset that I made in the past and tweak it to be more of what I want I the moment, then save that and the process goes on! If you are looking for presets though, there's a few that I recommend... Evan Ranft modular presets are pretty great because it lets you build your own presets with all the different separate ways you can apply them. (sounds confusing I know, but he has a full breakdown of how to use them on his channel) OR Benj Heisch Cascades preset pack is meant for weddings but is very much worth it for any photos, especially if you like editing your photos to have that film-like look. Hope this helps!

Hey thanks Lukas, I appreciate that!

anything above like 14inches or so, even when I exported in high quality. I understand it could have been the place I used to print tho!

I was pretty disappointed with how they would look when I went to print them... I'll be upgrading to the xt5 soon so I should have a problem in the future when I go to blow them up!

@@Jeffsfotos that makes perfect sense! I dont print so I have never came across this. I even use a a7s3 for night photography so that can tell you how little I take into account the printing

@@Jeffsfotos how big did you try and blow them up to? 24mp is still pretty big so I’m surprised they wouldn’t hold up when printing.

@@MikeFolden I'm pretty sure it wasn't myself or the camera that wasn't making it possible... I'm pretty limited to the places I can print at where I'm from and for some reason the files coming from it were not high quality enough, no matter what I did. (Walmart print shop isn't great to deal with)

Hey MJ, I'm editing in Lightroom for pretty much all the shots an included in the video. BUT the Acros black and white out of the box is my favourite film simulation for sure! I've thought about making a video on how I edit in Lightroom but I don't want to make it like the ones already made on KZfaq... any suggestions on what you'd like to see? I'd love to hear it.

Unfortunately no. Not the same, BUT with a good eye in editing you can get pretty close to the same results!
