Fujifilm Asks What’s Your Favorite Film Simulation (and I Tell You Mine) – #10YearsOfXMount Theme

Share

For the April edition of the #10YearsOfXMount theme, Fujifilm wants to know which one is your favorite film simulation.

So, if you want to let Fujifilm know which one is yours, make sure to share an image on social media, tag it with #10YearsOfXMount and with a bit of luck your image will be featured all over Fuji’s social media channels.

What is my favorite?

Well, that’s a tough question, as it kind of depends on my mood and what I shoot.

Overall, if I’d have to pick one, I’d go for Astia as it has the best balance between vivid colors and nice skin tones. But I also love to use Classic Chrome, or Acros, Velvia, Nostalgic Negative, Provia… the more film simulations I have, the better.

And sometimes it happens that I fall in love with film simulations that I mostly ignored so far.

It was the case with the ProNeg film simulations, which I rarely used overall, at least until I photographed the wedding of my best friend. Out of the 129 images I delivered to him and his wife, the majority of them were in ProNeg Standard or ProNegHi. They just worked so nicely for all the indoor shots.

And that’s actually the point.

I mean, I didn’t use ProNeg a lot before. But having access in post to the film simulation profiles, was a game changer for my editing. It drastically reduced my editing time as all I did was to scroll over the various profiles in Capture One and I could quickly see which film simulation gave me the best colors for each photo. And in many cases, I just noticed that ProNeg was the winner for indoor low light images.

Fuji colors can be a blessing also for RAW shooters sometimes.

Long story short: I shoot mainly Astia, and you?

Fujifilm X-H2 Concept Rendering

Fujifilm X-H2

There are some images of the Fujifilm X-H2 floating around on social media which are erroneously reported as the possibly first leaked images of the Fujifilm X-H2.

Well, here on FujiRumors we kept a cool head and did what we can do best: verify and check.

So it turns out that these are not leaked X-H2 images but renderings made by Fujifilm X shooter Steven.

And while not the real deal, Steven’s renderings could  be a nice way to start a discussion on how we’d like the Fujifilm X-H2 to be in terms of handling and ergonomics.

Which design choices made by Steven do you particularly like? And what other suggestions do you have? Feel free to contribute down below in the comments.

Steven shared his renderings on his instagram here and writes:

How do you think Fujifilm X-H2 would look like?

I imagine it would be a crossover between X-T4 and GFX 100s. As a video-centric camera, being in a less retro form factor makes sense. Adding more dials and buttons will be awesome too.

Also, it’s my first foray into 3D hard surface modeling, so it’s been quite a rough but fun ride.

Since X-H2 is going to be more video-centric, I figured the record button should be prominent, coupled with more function buttons around it. Or is it too many?

That rounded concave thing? It’s meant to be a joystick, so you can move the focus area without touching the LCD nor using the back joystick. That way your right hand doesn’t have to change position while holding the camera.

It would be awesome to have a screen with similar articulation as X-T100. That way the distance between the sub-monitor and the LCD screen is not far. I’m not smart enough to figure out how it works practically, but a man can dream hehe.

As far as solid Fujifilm X-H2 rumor goes, you can find the updated list down below.
