Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations

Fujicolor C200, 35mm Color Film Recipe

Fujifilm simulation recipe for Fujicolor C200 film using Classic Negative as a base

Fujifilm film recipes that mimic real world film looks are a useful resource for owners of X-Series cameras. They give a way to shoot with all the convenience of the latest electronics and optics, but with an analog output reminiscent of 35mm manual photography.

On this site, I have film recipes inspired by Kodak film looks and Fujifilm Fujicolor styles. These use the built in simulations and other adjustments to capture some of the spirit of these giants of photography heritage.

In this recipe, I’ve looked to create a recipe that mimics the versatile film negative style of Fujicolor C200 film. The heavy lifting is provided by Classic Negative, which has a strongly evocative film print look, especially reminiscent of Fujicolor prints. I’ve softened and warmed this base to reduce some of its more divisive characteristics. In this recipe grass is less blue and more shadow detail is retained. It all makes for a highly usable recipe that’s good for use in many different conditions, but retains a nostalgic film negative feel.
