I think it’s the photographer mate!

I assume these are edited RAWs rather than film sims SooC?

Yeah I've been comparing the Fujifilm built in recipes to the RNI film Sims and I really dig the RNI stuff.

Thanks

Lemme know if you wanna see side by side comparisons, I've got a link with a few.

Not heard of the RNI ones; yeah would definitely be interested in seeing a comparison!

I managed to have a play with some RNI presets before - some were okay but, as an example, I found the Portra one to be nothing like other Portra ones [or vice versa I guess]

I have no idea if they accurately portray film or not, I just sort of ended up with a bunch of favourites I liked and use them sometimes as a base before doing a little colour grading on top. They are great at subduing the colours whilst retaining a richness.

I've shot a bit of Portra film on 35mm & 120, and none of them really look like Portra tbh :ROFLMAO:

But, as you say, as long as they give you a base look to start off with & get you 90% to the end product you want it's all good. I started off like that [I edited the same style for years!], then ended up with too many and I have only recently knocked them all back & started afresh with minimal options.

I shot a roll of Portrait last year, and was honestly astonished at how good it is. It’s almost too good - how close it was to a clean digital image was remarkable. That fine grain though - you just can’t emulate it. Lovely stuff

Took the X-T5 as my second camera while at Cranfield taking a few images of the English Electric Lightning XS458

"Excellent" aviation style capture Glen, pushes all the right buttons for me.

What a lovely image. Love the lighting and processing.
 
I have a question and I feel it's probably obvious and something I should already know, so go easy!

I've started looking more into custom film sims recently, if a film sim requires a custom white balance and I shoot in RAW and JPEG, what effect does the custom white balance have on the raw file, any?

I think it should keep the actual kelvin (as shot) but I think it looses the other tint [grid] adjustments.
 
Well its the end of my Fuji journey after 12 years, from the X-Pro1 through various models to the X-T4, and tbh I have enjoyed every minute, but all good things come to an end.

After buying a D700 again the Nikon boy in me has given in to temptation and I have bought a Nikon ZF, which is really nice and will fit my style and my photography.

I will probably buy a couple of Z lenses, but will also go down the Viltrox route as I've had a few with the Fuji's and they are excellent value for money for the performance.

I say the end, but I do miss my X100S as a travel camera, and when things settle down I may well get another X100 model down the line.

Any recommendations for a small, pocketable camera? Fuji or otherwise? Leaning towards the Ricoh GR4 but not sure if I'm missing anything. My XH2 is sometimes a bit big to take.

Ricoh GR is THE pocketable camera but there are reports of the GR4 freezing and having issues with the lens not retracting when switched off.
