Fujifilm X-Pro2 Kodachrome II Film Simulation Recipe

Yet another excellent film simulation recipe with which I can experiment to create one for my X-T2. Thank you, Ritchie!

The following images were hurriedly taken short after reading this article. I apologize for the banality of the subject material.

Vintage Classic Chrome and Vintage Kodachrome Film Simulation Recipes by Ritchie Roesch

I have been shooting using the defaults on my Fujifilm X-T2 and getting good results. However, I want to shorten the path between the defaults, experimentation, and finding my own settings. I discovered Ritchie Roesch’s website via a Google search for “Classic Chrome Film Simulation Recipes”. Ritchie has created an incredible set of recipes for his XPro2 and X100F. I think these Chrome Film Simulation recipes are a good starting point for me to learn how these film simulations works, tweak them and find my own recipe.

I am using Ritchie's recipe with one modification. I am not a fan of film grain so I have set the grain setting to off for all of these. All of the images here were SOOC JPEGs.

I will most likely use this recipe for most of my street photography and general photography.
