FUJIFILM X100V SIMULATION vs REAL FUJI VELVIA 100

[@thomaschipman]

given fuji's resources, it is difficult to think that the noticeable differences between their film stock and their simulations isn't by design. it seems that all of their simulations are best described as "inspired by" rather than "faithful reproductions of" classic film stocks.

I wish they'd go with the latter

[@Mijonju]

You can't top the vibrant hues of genuine film! The colors have a tale to tell.

[@nickfanzo]

Back in the day we wanted film to be what digital is today. I’m not gonna complain about digital 😂

[@robbiefishing]

Great video mate. There's no substitute for film, especially colour positive film. I really liked Fujifilm Sensia back in the day. I've just ordered a Fujifilm XT5 and am looking forward to playing with the simulations. I shoot exclusive digital these days. It's cheap and convenient, but there's no substitute for film, especially slide film. I've subscribed. 👍👍

Reducing the luminance of the blues and the greens goes a long way to making it look more like the film and reducing the HDR look. I also bump the blue saturation. Expose for the highlights like you should in general for slide film and its pretty much there. Oh I also change the kelvin to 5500 and add a tiny amount of magenta in tint

[@QippysChannel]

Thanks so much for making this comparison video! Really makes me miss shooting with slide film. Used to only shoot with slide film back in the day cos I love the colours it manages to capture. Also I must say despite the fact that the slide shots here looking more overexposed in some shots, it still manages to convey that real filmic look I guess, surprise, surprise! Just the hues in the shadows and highlights look so much more like a frame from a movie.

[@starlight_garden]

Nice. Though I would have liked if you had made yet more comparisons where you also used Lightroom to get the digital images to look even closer to the film shots.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

X100V is awesome. And that is another proof! Nice video!

[@Goughie]

It’s such a good camera!

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

great comparison mate! surprisingly, this is my next content as well!!! but I did with velvia 50.. wow!!

[@Goughie]

Look forward to it!

[@cornellouis]

I know this is an old video but for comparison purposes - I've noticed a really big difference between the film scanned with scanners vs. using something like the Nikon ES-2 macro lens adaptor. Like, HUGE difference in shadow detail. Are you confident in the quality of your scans here vs. other techniques? I just have to ask since for years I've wanted a Nikon film scanner, but after seeing the ES-2 results, I think that is no doubt the way to go, and I'm now skeptical of any scan except maybe a drum or something crazy.

[@Goughie]

Everything will give different results! Is there a “right” answer I don’t think so! I think ruling out flatbed scanning all together might be too quick of a conclusion. A very good scanner can often still get higher resolution than a camera. Drum scanning maybe better, but I bet 99.99% of people couldn’t tell. And it’s so expensive and in many ways old tech, and still involves a computer interpreting the negative to positive conversion However my thoughts now years later is that flatbed scanning film is soooo boring and takes soooo long that in the end I’d optimise for speed. If I was still shooting a lot of film I’d be “camera scanning” I’d be sticking a macro on my Fuji camera and doing it that way. Because a roll of film takes 5 minutes and not 2 hours. But then you end up down the rabbit hole of which camera is best? and what does best even mean? If I did a video scanning film with a Fuji camera I can guarantee I’ll have comments telling my that full frame sony would be better, or Leica would offer more film like colours, you have to do it with a CCD sensor etc Ultimately this is no right or wrong, do what you like best! And what gives the results you want! At the time for me it was a flatbed, today it would be a camera A bit long winded but hopefully helps

Slide film is sunlight / harsh light hungry, despite low DR, so treat it accordingly. That magenta tint you've experienced is actually quite common occurrence, especially if chemicals in the machine are long in the tooth or if chemicals are not from the same manufacturer as the film. In the same case, Kodak slide films might turn yellowish / green. Yes it's still E6, but nuances matter. I was always fan of Fujifilm slide films, while my dad was fan of more muted Agfa slide films (Agfachrome), which sadly exist no more...

[@ronallen2458]

nice vid. i'm wondering what your dynamic range was set to on the Fuji. The pictures look like you might be set at 200%. I got some great ideas for my white balance settings - thank you. i'm so in love with my X100V and am starting to explore the film simulations more and more. some days i even shoot all jpeg (gasp). :)

[@Goughie]

It was on 100% actually! I think it just looks like 200% because of how little range the film has! It’s a very good camera! And the recipes on websites like Fuji weekly are a lot of fun too!

[@ronallen2458]

@@Goughie great tip on fuji x weekly! thank you so much.

[@davidmcc6666]

Used to pull my Velvia 50 to 32 ASA. Nice, mate.

[@Goughie]

I have a roll of 50 in the fridge! Thanks for the tip! My plan is to actually take a tripod and do some landscape photography with it! :)

[@davidmcc6666]

@@Goughie Can't wait to see the results, mate.

[@chrisdals5182]

At 8.11 the colour reproduction of the film is far more varied than the digital image. Same with the following shot at 8.15. With digital, the cathedral the colour is weirdly the same. I would really like to use Velvia film but with the price so high, I just cannot bring myself to spend that money on it.

[@CalumetVideo]

I think Fuji is pulling out of film eventually, probably within the next few years. I don’t think they have a commitment to film photography, unfortunately, that leaves us with very few choices for color film, especially in 120.

[@Goughie]

It definitely feels that way doesn’t it! Which is sad really but to some extent you can understand why. I can see that at some point shooting film is going to mean you’re shooting black and white.

[@michaeljamieson3582]

Great, been hoping someone would do a video on this. FYI spelling error in the video title.

[@Goughie]

Thank you for spotting!!

[@calumetdarren]

Interesting. I find the Velvia film to be much less subdued compared to the Velvia film simulation which blasts up the contrast.

[@konmorse]

Good timing. Fuji just discontinued the Velvia Chrome 100 film

[@Goughie]

I just saw that! Crazy! Should have kept it in the fridge! It’ll be worth ££££ next week 😂

[@Kuliginvitalik]

what camera and lens did u use for velvia 100?

[@Goughie]

Emulation: Fuji X100V Real film: Leica M6, 28mm voigtlander ultron

[@MrHauerManuel]

Ah i was wondering why the velvias look so much better!

[@nickfanzo]

Don’t change the iso metering of the film. Keep it normal .the iso on the Fuji isn’t a film speed, it’s a gain control.

[@Goughie]

Curious as to why you suggest box speed on the film?

[@nickfanzo]

@@Goughie maybe I misunderstood, from what I understood you under exposed the velvia, to make the iso of the Fuji (camera base iso?).

[@mornaliganli4064]

York?
