Classic Chrome v2 - Film Simulation for Fujifilm Cameras

It’s hard to beat a classic, but everyone appreciates a good remix… That was my thought process when I set out to modify Fujifilm’s Classic Chrome profile on my Fujifilm X-H2. Like most people, I enjoy the original Classic Chrome, but variety is the spice of life. As 2024 drew to a close, I set out to make a film simulation that would give me new enthusiasm for photographing with this old favorite.

Pro Negative 400 - Film Recipe for Fujifilm Cameras

I just bought a Fujifilm X-H2 and I’ve been trying to create a film simulation that I can use as a “standard” profile. It needs to look good in all lighting conditions and be relatively flexible. Today’s recipe is my first attempt at such a recipe. Pro Negative 400 will give you unique colors suitable for every day memory making and reduce your need to edit in post.

Shady Summer Film - Film Recipe for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

I’ve been in Athens, Greece with my Ricoh GR III for the last couple days and I’ve been working on a new film simulation. I’m going to call this one Shady Summer Film. It has a cool white balance to balance out the hot summer sun. Most of the photos you’ll see in this article were taken just north of the Victoria Metro Station on the green line in Athens.

Rustic Portra 400 - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

I’ve been longing for some rustic and earthen tones in my photography lately, so I set to work trying to develop a recipe for my Ricoh GR III. I originally started with “Negative Film,” but ended up finding the “Retro” picture profile to be a better base.

Kodak Portra 160 - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

I’ve been seeing a Portra 160 film simulation for the Ricoh GR III floating around the internet recently. There are several variations of the recipe featuring slightly different white balance settings. This post is my test of my modified recipe and my attempt to document it for those searching for it in the future.

Luke’s Kodak Ektachrome 1600 - Film Simulation for Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx

Bonjour everyone! Enjoy this new Ricoh GR III Recipe! This film simulation works with the GR III and the GR IIIx.

Today’s new Ricoh GR III Recipe is called Luke’s Kodak Ektachrome 1600

This is the first film simulation where I’ve experimented with setting a manual ISO value. As you probably guessed, that value is ISO 1600. The elevated ISO certainly kept my shutter speeds high.
