Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

A grainy black and white film recipe, based upon Agfa APX 400 film

Exciting news for recipe fans … this is film recipe 250 to be added to the site!

I’m constantly amazed by the variety and range of film recipes that I’ve discovered during this project, and I continue to learn from my experiments, and from talented photographers in our Facebook group. I’m going to keep trying to find new styles to share with you.

For film recipe 250, I have decided to publish a recipe that is based upon a real world 35mm film. In this case, I’ve been inspired to mimic Agfa’s grainy and characterful APX 400 monochrome film.

Whenever I see images taken with this, I am impressed, and I especially love the grainy mood. So, I set to trying to reproduce it for our Fujifilm cameras. I do really hope that you enjoy the result, and will continue to enjoy the wide selection of film recipes here on the site.
