The Best Film Simulations According to the FujiRumors Community (And I Respectfully Disagree)

The categories to vote on where what Fujifilm calls the “all-rounder” and the “individualistic” film simulations.

Of course everyones taste is different, but I respectfully disagree in placing Astia on the third spot.

I feel Astia is the best all-rounder film simulation, and definitely my go-to setting.

Sure, it also depends on the single image, but I believe 75% of the time I pick Astia over Provia.

Yes, Provia is a touch more “realistic”, but I like the slight extra bit of pop I get in Astia, without overdoing or exaggerating the colors and at the same time retain nice skin colors. That’s why for example whenever I take pictures of my family in the mountains, I use Astia: balanced skin tones and slightly more vivid landscape colors.

But again, it’s all just my personal opinion, and overall the colors Fujifilm offers with its film simulations are the best in the industry and for me personally one of the most fun aspects of using Fujifilm cameras. Not to talk of the fact that they are also incredibly time saving, as I told you here.
