Since the X-Pro3 was announced and even more now with the X100V, I have been obsessed with the images taken in the new ‘negative’ film simulation. This is something that, at least at this time, is only available in the X-PRO3 (both for the JPEGS processing and for unprocessed processing) and does not seem that it reaches the cameras of previous generation. I am not yet planning to update my cameras (although the X100V is almost impossible to resist), so I have been trying to find out how to test the simulation of classical negative film in the Fujifilm X-T2.
So here there is a small trip in my search to get the classic appearance of Neg directly from my camera. I know that the X-T2 is aging, but it is still such a good camera, so I cannot justify buying one of the last models only for this film simulation. Ok, let’s be honest, many of us users of Fujifilm we would do exactly that. Surely I can take photos like Jonas Rask? For me at least, this is the best of all the simulations of films produced by Fujifilm (although Classic chrome and Acro They are very close). It simply shouts ‘you’re soting film’ and makes you forget that you have a digital camera. This simulation is based on Superia 100 and, from what I have seen, everything is about slightly Blue and orange green appearance. Combined with the new feature of the new cameras, Crome FX Blue color, you can really create some beautiful images.
THE TRUE Classic Neg
The first thing is the first, if you have not managed to take a look at this new films simulation, simply present your eye on the following:
X-Pro3-A different race Jonas Rask
Classic negative: in the camera or capture one 12-an early aspect Lacaco
Beautiful, right? One thing that Jonas points out is that the simulation changes the character if it exposes an image. This is something that those of us who use older cameras we can never experience creating a recipe for the classic neg, but at least we could reach a place nearby. That should keep gas at bay for a little more.
So here are the simulations that I have found floating on the Internet. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to sit and see if I can solve my own recipe, so I have tried each of these to see which one I prefer. The photos are not going to fly your socks, I’m afraid that I am only filming every time I find the time at this time, so I wait for many random articles at home! However, I hope you get the idea.
Simulation 1
Directly from the favorite recipe manufacturer of all, FujixweeklyThis is its classic negot. Ritchie recipes are fantastic and each Fujifilm user must have at least one marked in their personalized configuration.
The only amendments I did to this were the grain effect in any (only my personal taste) and use Auto WB with -2 red and +7 blue to be able to use it in a variety of scenes. As with all my jpegs, I apply something very slight postprocessing.
Simulation 2
The only amendments that I did to this were to leave the grain effect in any and establish a sharp in +2 instead of -4. Again, only my personal taste is good to adjust the simulations to what exactly what you prefer is. The noise reduction in both is established in -4. I will always leave it here thanks to the inherent problem of the X-T2 with the production of a hilling skin when applying noise reduction. As with all my jpegs, I apply something very slight postprocessing.
A raw prejustment
I also found a free prejustment in Fujilove’s Facebook group that, I think, Jonas Rask really commented on saying that he was very close to what was found in the X-Pro3. You can download this free here. This can be used directly from Lightroom or capture one and can immediately see that this is close to the original. There is also a LUT if you like to film a video!
Everything I have changed in the prejustment is with respect to sharpening. I like quantity 65, Radius 1.0, detail 10 and masking 30.
My verdict
I love these versions of the classic negative film simulation in the Fujifilm X-T2 and I am willing to give one of the JPEG’s recipes a complete exition of my honeymoon in the not too distant future. Which one do I prefer? Honestly, it’s difficult.
I love the great tones of simulation 1 and I wonder if this was done with the consideration given to the color of chromed color FX. I also like raw prejustment that has much warmer tones but is equally beautiful. This is the one that Jonas Rask thought that it coincided a lot with the original. In the streets, it seemed too warm to my tastes.
For the honeymoon, I will return to a city that I have filmed extensively before and a new country where I can’t wait to get my teeth. I will be filming Raw and JPEG, so I have a little freedom with the final editions, but I will update this publication at some point with more photos. I think I will go with simulation 1 for the JPEG recipe in my X-T2, although I will take two identical cameras, I could look for something different like Kodachrome 64. I had settled in simulation 2 until I bit myself to Sunderland to see a closing sale in a camera store. It happened that there were no available discounts, so I took the wet and window streets with 35 mm f/2 and the marked simulation. At first I thought the appearance was too ‘cold’, too blue, but I really looked at them now I am very happy with them.
I am very interested in knowing other people who have tried these recipes, as well as raw prejustment and those who really have the X-Pro3. Would I love to know if any of these is close? Which one do you prefer? Let me know what you think of the comments below!
