Film simulations are incredibly subjective so the above is just a fun comparison. I like a lot of Fujifilms simulations and I will try them all on a great photo just to see which might give the best results, but I personally use the simulations listed below as my top 5. I also do not like to bake in the color in advance so I tend to apply my simulations after the fact with the build-in RAW developer or Lightroom/Capture One.
My Top 5
- Classic Chrome
- Nostalig Neg
- Classic Neg
- ACROS
- Eterna
One more thing of note is that picking a film simulation changes what you see through your EVF so I often leave it set to Provia in camera since that is Fujifilm’s “Standard” profile, but I will switch to ACROS if I am in the mood for a monochromatic look.
DPRTV has very different preferences than my own for photos
- Monochrome
- Provia
- Classic Neg
- Velvia
- Nostalig Neg
DPRTV also picked Eterna for video, which is a no-brainer since Jordan is always raving about how great the color is out of the camera for video.
