FUJIFILM Classic Negative - How good is it?

[@Hero_my_Hiro]

Classic Negative and classic chrome are my favorites when shooting color, but my favorite of all time is Acros+R, which I shoot with 99% of the time. Great video and photos (as usual) and love the shots around SB!!

[@TheZachMendez]

Thanks, Hiro! I've been loving shooting Acros recently as well. Thanks for watching!

Is there further no recipe? Just the film simulation set on Classic negative? Thats enough?

[@brodie-jeanclark8538]

Hi Zach ! Great video you’ve helped me figure exactly the kind of camera I want !!

[@TheZachMendez]

Awesome! I'm so glad that you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching & for letting me know! Have fun with the new camera!

[@oxeneers]

Awesome stuff man! Keep it comin. Would love to hear some lens reviews from you. I see you were using the 50mm a lot.

[@TheZachMendez]

Hi, Dylan! Thanks for watching and for the comment. I appreciate it! I definitely want to get some lens reviews up soon. The little 50 F/2 is a superb lens. It seems like it might be a bit underrated in the Fujifilm lineup.

[@TON618-s3z]

Is there this profile in S-X10?

[@arturgajewskiphotog]

Classic Negative is my favorite recipe. No need to use RAW or any other recipe from online. It does bring up bright exposure just a bit so this needs to be taken into concideration. But other than that, I have noticed I don't even need to do post processing any more which is why I switched from Canon to Fujifilm.

[@arturgajewskiphotog]

What grain setting do you use for your jpegs in-camera?

[@Dayvsthiago]

Hi, Can you put the classic chrome on the Fuji X10 model? is there any possibility to configure?

[@TheZachMendez]

Hi! As far as I know, you can't add film simulations to older Fujifilm camera bodies. BUT if you use Capture One with a newer body, it will save the available film profiles to be used on any fuji cameras. For example, since I have the X-Pro3 and use Capture One, the Classic Negative film simulation is available as a profile under the "curve" in Capture One. When I am editing files shot on the X-T3 in my Capture One, I can still access the Classic Neg film profile in the software even though that simulation isn't available on the X-T3. I hope that makes sense? Probably not super helpful but it is a way to shoot with an older body and get the film sims, but of course you have to have already edited files shot on newer bodies. I suppose just importing a sample image shot on a newer body might allow you to access the film sims without you needing to actually have shot something on the newer camera.

[@fotografieuweroder4175]

inside Capture One 20 one will find it as well in "Basic Setup" ("Basismerkmale" in German) , even for the XT3 (not in camera though), like it very much -

[@TheZachMendez]

Yes, thank you! Thank you for watching!

[@ThisIsWideAngle]

Capture One always has a simulation of the next camera generation extra for each fuji model. Pretty neat. ;)

[@WVMUSIC_NL]

Hi I tend to use pro negative high film sim a lot. Which one would you reccomend if you want the colors to be like real world situation? What are the filmsims that you prefer? ( xt100 user)

[@TheZachMendez]

Hey there! I generally stick with classic chrome or classic neg just because I like the more creative feel from the Fujifilm cameras. If you want something more natural, pro neg or standard are good bets. Hope this helps! Thanks :)

[@GrahamConnor]

Astia is pretty nice :) I use it with colour +2.

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@TheZachMendez]

Great! I am so glad you found this helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

@@TheZachMendez You are very welcome sir. This video is so insightful. I watched it multiple times. Trying to get my head around the camera system. I come from an audio background. Where we push analog tape machines and gear extra hard to get a vibe from them. Just like you're doing here with the overexposures and film emulation. This video really helps me understand this process deeper.

[@TheZachMendez]

@@theblowupdollsmusic Thanks so much, Matt. I enjoyed reading your note about your audio background - very interesting! I am so glad to hear that you found the video useful. Thanks again!

[@Zelanias]

i wanna buy a xt3 but it doesnt have classic negative 😢

[@jubilee0418]

Thanks for video. Did you buy Fuji Film Simulation ICC Profile?...

[@TheZachMendez]

Thank you for watching! I didn't purchase any profiles. The profiles load automatically when working with .RAF files. I hope this helps!

[@fatiabatman]

hey may i know your lens for your xpro3? :) thank you so much! your review is really covering what i need to know

[@TheZachMendez]

Hi! Thank you for watching and for the comment! I have the 35 mm F/2 and the 23 mm F/2. I’ve also tried out the 50 F/2, 56 F/1.2, and 16-55 F/2.8. I use the 35 F/2 most of the time. Hope this helps!

[@wejuya]

Is there any way you can tweak classic chrome to imitate classic neg? For xt3 or other older fuji cameras, we dont have classic neg, despite the recent firmware update

[@TheZachMendez]

Yeah, unfortunately Fujifilm hasn't added newer film simulations on the older camera bodies. I'm sure there is a way to get close - would be interesting to experiment with! Thanks for watching!

[@abdullahshahid9051]

"I ll go buy it later when its a little bit cheaper" oh man

[@Aftershok128]

My reaction exactly 😂

[@pandoraefretum]

Great to talk about the film simulations ; but here's a serious question ; are the settings for film simulations in Capture One the same / close / or not so close to those in camera ? (sorry I couldn't really tell from the KZbin because my TV cannot show KZbin in 4k (even though it's a 4k TV!!)) Anyway thanks for the discussion

[@TheZachMendez]

Thank you for watching!! In my experience, the simulations differ the slightest bit between the JPEG in-camera files and the raw color profiles. Overall though it’s almost indistinguishable so it’s really a non-issue. I don’t know enough about the actual technical details of how the processing works for each of these circumstances, but I’m sure there is a channel out there that can hep answer that for you if you are curious. It’s a great question - thank you.

[@pandoraefretum]

@@TheZachMendez Well you certainly gpt the feel for these simulations across.... it takes a while to really get to know each of them... because there are so many lighting situations in real life.... I even struggled for a long time to understand the difference between Monochrome and Acros ... the manual doesn't really give a feel for the characteristics of these film sims... Thanks again !!

Could it be possible to tweak Classic Negative to have similar SOOC result like Hideaki Hamada or other works using real Fuji Pro 400H?

[@TheZachMendez]

I think you could definitely get close to 400H with Classic Neg. There is so much flexibility in the IQ settings in-camera. It would take some practice, but I'm sure you could find something that works for you. Thanks for watching!

Is this camera good for professional photography ?

Yes! Lots of pros use the X-Pro3. It depends on how you shoot and the type of work you are doing! Thanks for watching.

[@snowhite1qazse4]

The classic neg actually looks very good. You can just set -1 color or R -1 + B +1 to counter the orange tone

[@TheZachMendez]

Thanks for watching & for the suggestions.

[@patrickcazer]

you should check out GxAce on youtube, he did a video on the xpro3 only shooting jpegs its pretty sweet!

[@patrickcazer]

@@TheZachMendez of course! hey zach i had a question, is there a way to get OVF magnification on the xpro3? when the little box pops up in the corner is there a way to zoom in within the tiny box to check focus ?

[@Pentax67]

Classic Negative is the closest to a Portra 800 frontier scan. HOWEVER the skin tones are way too bad (orange and not pinkish). It’s hard to get cool greens and pinkish skin tones as a film simulation to truly match Portra 800 overexposed or Fuji pro 400h overexposed

[@TheZachMendez]

Thanks so much for watching & for the comment! Yeah, agreed, Classic Neg skin tones are often way to unnatural for me. I appreciate the input! :)

[@nataliamoura3360]

with a violet filter you fix this problem. Just pull the white balance shift to the green side. It's been my favorite preset.

[@angliski911]

lightroom cannot convert fuji files, nor can it convert canon files. Wrong software to demonstrate on.

This is part of the reason I went back to film. Too many simulations to choose from.

If you are serious about testing out Fujifilm film simulations, you do NOT shoot in raw.
