FUJIFILM RECIPES - Episode 1: KODACHROME

- Hi, Everybody!
Today I am sharing one of my favorite Fujifilm film recipes with you: Kodachrome. Please know that I am NOT a film photographer. I am not claiming to have achieved a completely authentic film look.
I do appreciate film & use it occasionally, but just know that if you want a true film look, shoot with real film. Fujifilm is about the closest thing to shooting film with digital cameras, and that is a lot of the reason why I love it. I've said before, I don't like my images to feel overly digital, so I enjoy adding film-like qualities to my images.
I hope you enjoy this video! Subscribe to see the rest of the series & say hello if you are new here!

My personal favourite since many years: ProNeg Hi with - 1/3 or -2/3 EV. I tried Classic Chrome plenty of times but the sky is too teal for my taste. I love the subdued colors of ProNeg and I prefer the higher contrast, hence the "Hi" version of ProNeg. Once I move aways from my trusty old X-T1 I will give the newer recipies a try. Oh, and cheeers from Germany. ;-)
Hi, Andreas! Thank you so much for watching and for subscribing, all the way from Germany! I totally understand how you might find the blues in CC too teal- I really love it but sometimes it can be a bit much. I also enjoy ProNeg Hi. I appreciate the comment - cheers! :)
@@TheZachMendez is there an app that can give your android or iPhone Fujifilm and Kodak Colours, What I mean is Film Simulation Recipes, so you can enter a few colour settings etc and get Fujifilm and Kodak Colours everytime you shoot with your android or iPhone, I don't want an app like lightroom that charges you every month as I am short of money, so just a one off payment is what I want, I just want Fuji Across and Fiji Provia colours etc coming from my Android and iPhone camera.
@@cariza5 try to install capture one, its a free and better than lightroom
Thx for this great video. I love the film simulation and richies recipe. They are the number one reason for me to photograph my family with fuji cameras. Looking forward to your other video. I love kodachrome and acros the most
Thanks so much, Daniel! They are amazing - agreed! Thanks for watching!
lovely images and I like your version of this Kodachrome film simulation at lot! Thanks 🙏🏻
Awesome video! Kodachrome is my favorite as well! Second is acros and Classic chrome is 3rd. Ordered a xe4 to start playing with Classic Negative
That XE4 looks sweet! I'm curious to know how you like it! I love classic neg - it's my favorite simulation right now. Thanks so much for watching!
Just sold my R6 and my whole kit with it for the XE-4 and the 33mm 1.4. So far I love it. The R6 was amazing but I never wanted to carry it unless it was a necessity. The XE-4 has put the fun back in it for me. Small, light and an amazing sensor for the package. This camera will go places my bigger kit never would have.
Thank you so much; you solved my distaste with the X-weekly recipe. 🤩
Haha glad I could help!! Thanks for watching :)
Been looking for this recipe everywhere until now. I love this color. Thank you man!
I'm so glad you found the channel - thank you for watching! :)
@@TheZachMendez I hear MuseCam - Photo Editor for iPhone has film recipes options that you can insert with text and when you press the shutter button on your iPhone, you will have all the best Fujifilm and Kodak film Simulations coming out of your iPhone, works the same way that the Fujifilm X Series Cameras do.
the portrait of yourself had some Helios qualities. nice
Thank you! & thank you for watching :)
Yeah i see the swirly
Love your channel! Great work!! This video in particular really speaks to me, as I’m trying to find a film simulation that suits my style but I haven’t tried tweaking them like this. I recently traded in my Canon 5dIII & 50 1.2 that I shot with for many years for an X-pro 3 & 16mm and 56mm lenses. I was so upset thinking I made a horrible decision, and planned on returning it all the next day. I found your channel and decided to give it more time, and I’m so glad I did. Your channel is a breath of fresh air, and I look forward to each one. Keep it up! And thanks!!
Thank you so much, Alysha for the kind words! This made my day! I am so glad that you are enjoying the videos. And I totally get your uneasy feeling after switching systems! I have gone through that many times before haha...I hope you are enjoying your X-Pro3! Those are two amazing lenses also. Thanks so much for watching the channel - means the world :)
Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 10 is the best software to edit Fujifilm.
Because, they are the company that created the Fujifilm X Converter. Also the company behind Nikon, Panasonic, Pantex raw converter.
Highly recommended.
Will need to check it out! Thanks for watching!
Hey man really cool film sim. Really love this stuff. Wish I had your eye creating these gorgeous filmic looks. Keep up the channel, it’s awesome
Thank you so much, Joden!! That means a lot to me. Much appreciated! :)

Cool - will have to check it out! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you very much Zach! I love your Classic Chrome recipe!!
Awesome! So glad to hear it. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Hi Zach, My brand new X Pro 3 arrived yesterday. I just love it!!! I want to carry it with me everywhere as a daily camera. Its a joy to use and looks sexy in black. Just subbed to your channel. cheers from Australia.
Amazing!! Enjoy that camera it is so fun!
Great look and advice. Thank You.
Thank you for watching :)
this video is amazing, I just recently got the xt30 because I was not a fan of the digital look and wanted a camera to produce a film like photo straight out of camera. Thanks to you I learned about the film recipe and its so much fun!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for watching :)
I'd like to buy a fujifilim camera as my first camera... is it possible to save custom film recipes on xt30....??
Hi Zach - awesome video! What if my Fujifilm x100s does not have "classic chrome" as a film simulation setting? I have Provia, Velvia, Astia Pro Neg hi, standard, b&w monochrome + ye filter, r, g, sepia.... any suggestions? Thanks!
Great content Zack! Loving the channel and all the recipes. Btw what leather camera strap is that? I’ve been meaning to pick one up just like that one for my X-Pro3
Thanks for watching! I had a single strap from a friend that I used for a while. Not sure of the brand. Now I use Holdfast straps exclusively- they are so great!
@@TheZachMendez same here man that’s all I use when I’m on a wedding. My moneymaker is so beat up and worn in I LOVE it!
every time I think about using a Kodachrome recipe, I see images of my KR 64 slides. the colors were so vivid. I'm using the kodak portra 400 recipe now. pastel color, an old film look and being happy with the results is my simple goal. with today's film prices, how many rolls will match the price of my x pro 3 body? I will leave the answer to the math and science section of youtube.
Thanks a lot. I like Kodachrome but as far as my fav recipes are Kodak Portra 400 and Across. Both taken from amazing FujiXweekly blog. Cheers.
Yeah! I definitely want to make more of these with those sims as well. Thank you for Watching!
Agree! This Kodachrome 64 film sim is such a banger--I really feel like I don't even want to edit the jpgs
Yeah I know right!! Fujifilm killing it as usual. Thanks for watching :)
i love the filter of your video !
Thank you so much for watching :)
Great vid! I love the kodachrome recipe, personally I set the clarity to 0 because I didn't have the patience to wait a second between each shot 😅
Thanks, James! Yeah, it can be annoying sometimes, and in certain situations I'll turn it off or just use a different custom setting to avoid the lag. I hope Fujifilm fixes this in upcoming cameras. Thanks for watching! :)
@@TheZachMendez
Clarity does intensive image processing, I doubt there is a software fix. If speed is an issue then shoot raw and use Fujifilm X RAW Studio to apply the custom recipe to the RAF.
THANKYOU! I thought it was my memory card or something
Hi Zach! Great Video. I put the recipe on my xt4 for in depth review😉
QUESTION:
While changing the white balance to AUTO, do you leave the WB shift as in the original recipe at R+2 B-5 ?
Greetings from Göttingen, Germany
I'm not sure at the moment as I haven't actually shot fujifilm in a while, but I would suggest trying a few ways to see what works best for you. Thanks so much for watching!!
Great Channel , i have a xt4 , gonna try , gracias desde Colombia.
Thank you so much for watching!! 😊
I will try kodachrome, thanks!
Awesome! Have fun with it! :)
I love the touch you did to that recipe! Quick question: if my camera saves both RAW and JPEG version of the image, can I convert the RAW save image into a new JPEG with one of these custom recipes?
Yes, if you shoot raw, you can do that in Fuji X Raw studio on your computer :) Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
@@TheZachMendez thank you for responding! Also is the xT4 your main camera to shoot landscape? Is it as sharp as the Sony a7iii or Nikon X6ii? I am planning to get a new camera and don't know if to go with xT4 or z6ii. Any thoughts?
Zach, wonderful video. I just came across your channel and this is the first video of yours I have watched. I am more into video than photography. Do you use Canon or Fuji for video? How do you get the film look in video? Is it possible to get the film look with Fujifilm video? Thank you Zach and sorry for the questions. Keep up the great work.
I use Canon for video! There are lots of video plugins and such that can help emulate film. Check out Tropic Colour. Thanks for watching!
@@TheZachMendez Zach, thank you for the reply.
This is nice i will try it out. Are you shooting in Auto or manual?
Hey man, random question, whats the name of the shoes you put on at the beginning of the video?
Thank you for sharing!! Cheers 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thank you so much for watching, Robert! :)
Kodachrome by Fuji? Cool! There was a time when many of us used Kodachrome 25 and/or 64. Do I miss those old film days? Maybe a little but the cost, the wait for processing and needling a custom lab to edit.
Do you have a similar Kodachrome preset in Lightroom or Capture One when shooting RAW
Hey there! Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I actually don't have a preset for this in Lightroom, but I do want to make those at some point!
@@TheZachMendez any luck with trying to match the raw image to the kodachrome recipe jpg image? I've been tinkering and getting close but I'm missing something.. :/
My X-T3 doesn't have the additional options like Clarity, Grain-Large, color chrome blue. I guess only certain newer models have that settings.
Yes, the newer models have more options in terms of settings. Thanks for watching!
@@TheZachMendez that sucks, hopefully they include to older models as well. 🙏🏻
Nice settings. Maybe a little too much sharpness and texture for a "film" simulation, anyway looks very appealing.
Haha yeah I agree with you - but it is an interesting look! :) Thanks for watching!
Will there be a Kodachrome 200 simulation coming some time? It's my favorite version of Kodachrome .
Thank you for the suggestion! :)
I used a "Kodak Trix" preset shooting Raw+JPG. While JPG was perfect, RAW file was basically screwed. When I shoot RAW I intend that the file should be as it is when I shoot with the standard settings... in this case, the raw file in black and white was an acros flat profile, while in colour it reflected the curve used for "Kodak Trix" but in colour and not in B/W.. any way to fix this problem?
Thanks for watching! Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. The raw files should just be raw - no simulation or color in the file. Wish I could be more helpful!
You know what Zach it is very nice colour
Thanks for watching!
heyy zach. wanted to ask. how you set custom setting on lcd 0:08
Good job bruh 🤍 continue 💪
Thank you for sharing Zach, stay safe.
Thanks, Enrique! Hope you are well!
I love the diff socks Zack 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Great look to the image! The only thing I miss on my old lady the XPro1 is the advanced possibility to tweak the settings. I like to do us much in camera as possible. I even started to use the in camera raw converter, in order to experiment with diff settings.
Ps: how do you like the 50/f2?
Cheers from Switzerland
Hi, Michel! Hope you are well. Glad you enjoyed the video ( and the socks LOL I can never find two of the same color when I need them) I love the 50 F/2! Hoping to make a video about it soon. Thanks as always for watching! :)
@@TheZachMendez yeah a video about the 50mm would be very cool. I own the 18mm and 35mm, and wonder if the 50mm could be interesting. I like to shoot from a bit further away but no much, the 50mm could be really cool for that. Had the adapter and a 50mm Nikkor on my XP1 a while ago and though the 75mmish was a very cool focal length 😎
Hi, very interesting, thankyou very much. I really liked your classic neg with your added grain treatment for portraits from one of your previous videos. Unfortunately I have an X100T and use Lr. so sort of stymied unless there is a workaround such as importing importing classic neg preset into Lr??
Hey there! Thank you so much for watching & for the kind words! Means a lot to me! I don't know of a way to import the Classic Neg sim into lightroom, unfortunately! Sorry I can't be of more help. Thanks again!
Excellent! I got a new Fujifilm X-T200 as a family camera for Xmas, replacing the 70d, which is impossible to sell, lenses as well, but the kit-lins that's on the camera is horrible. Think I must get the new 27 mm pancake lens as soon as possible!
Awesome!! yeah that 27 looks awesome. Thanks so much for watching! :)
thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
What does it mean ISO up to 6400, is >= 6400 or 160 to 6400?
classic krome is ekta chrome + kodakchrome mix
Awesome work man...
Thank you so much & thanks for watching! Means a lot!
Zach, have you tried manual focus lenses like Zeiss? Maybe an old uncoated lens? I think the lens characteristics may show up in one's images.
This is such a great point! I have been meaning to try more manual focus lenses. Thanks so much for the suggestion! :)
Do you use any diffusion filters, btw? :)
I only use 2 filters: a 2-5 stop VND to create artistic motion blur and a 1/4 strength Tiffen black promist. Thanks for watching! :)
Does this work on my Fujifilm xt20
I would check the settings & experiment!
Thanks for doing a simulation review! Video looks awesome, was that with the simulation too or a totally different camera?
Hi, Patrick! Thank you for watching! :) I actually shot this on the Canon C70 in C-Log 3 & graded it with the Canon luts. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
@@TheZachMendez Wow. The Kodachrome images were awesome but the quality of the video was the highlight for me. So good! Now just create a Fuji recipe that looks like the graded C70 will ya? Lol. For real though....
What about the bayer sensor? When we get the same results for the bayer sensors.. Please share the settings gor recipe.
Hey there! Thanks for watching & for the suggestion! I will definitely do some testing. The Fuji X Weekly blog has various recipes for different sensors including the bayer sensor cameras. Hope this helps!
Do you always keep your cameras with no lens attached or just for the video?
I do usually keep them on my shelf with the lenses detached, yes. It saves a bit on space. Thanks for watching!
My XT4 is slow with and without the clarity so it's just a heavy receipe to process
Thanks for watching! :)
I have set my WB to auto - did you also just leave the Red and Blue WB at 0 too?
Yes - I think I did when shooting auto WB. Thanks for watching!
Hi Zack, Your gear :Canon EF 50mm F/2.1 L the F2.1 that's a new lens ? ;-)
2.1?? haha Thanks for watching :)
@@TheZachMendez Your welcome! :-)
@@TheZachMendez ;-)
Nice video dude
Thanks so much for watching!!
@@TheZachMendez you're a good man Zach
Red and blue in wb?
I use X-T20 for my daily occasion for now, will it have any drastic difference as it lacks of the new features... clarity, color chrome, etc.. what could be ideal solution to this? Thank you beforehand, I love your content!
Hey there! I would just try it out and see! You can always adjust according to your preference. Thanks for watching! :)
any recipes for xa7?
I haven't used that camera, so I don't know what the available options are. I'm sure there are some online. Thanks for watching :)
@@TheZachMendez thanks for your reply I'll check them out
Are u typically underexposed ??
I think I was here but not typically.
Fun fact is that the video looks more Kodachrome than the recipe itself.
Awesome! haha thanks for watching :)
Damn. Such tight pants!
LOL you're not kidding.
Looks nothing like Kodachrome.
OK! Thanks for watching! :)
Please check out Fuji x weekly. He has many recipes including this one.
Thank you for watching! Yes - Actually I did get this one from Fuji X Weekly & I mention that in the video and link to the post in the description. I started with the Kodachrome 64 recipe from the blog and tweaked it a little bit. I will keep exploring some of the other recipes there. Thanks again! :)
Yeah, it's so nice! I almost prefer the nost. Neg. recipe, but it's very close. I always shoot just raw without clarity and then tweak via in camera processing. Think it'll help me to better understand the settings for different conditions. Cheers!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Zack can you do the Sony setting for Kodachrome, thanks
Eventually I will test a Sony camera, haha! Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
Does this work on Fuji Xt3?
The Fuji X Weekly blog actually has variations for different X sensors. I’m sure you could get something very similar
