Retrochrome Plus for Contrast + Retro

Nostalgic vintage Kodachrome look for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

When you really want to max out the retro vibe and take the Kodachrome aesthetic to another level, you need Retrochrome Plus film recipe.

Reminiscent of the Kodakchrome II recipe on FujiXWeekly, but with the mellow tone taken even further, this recipe is great in bright sunshine, wonderful with blue skies, and adds creamy drama tones to everything else.

  1. It’s saved in the camera but can’t go to the woods to try it out. It’s been so bloody, insanely hot recently.

    PS: I like the new drop-down menu and direct links.

    • I know what you mean. I went out after 8:30pm on Monday, and it was still pretty hot. Much better today though.
      Thanks for the note about the new navigation. I’m gradually improving the structure of things to make finding recipes easier, so I appreciate you mentioning it. There will be over 100 recipes eventually, so it’ll really help. Good luck with shooting over the next few days!
