I only had two Fujifilm X-System lenses at the time of this project, as above, the Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R and the XF 56mm f/1.2 R, and I was carrying both with my X-Pro2.įujifilm’s 23mm focal length lenses are equivalent to 35mm in the 35mm sensor format, and are a good choice when needing to carry just one lens for covering events and making portraits.

This gave me a look that combined the best of Fujifilm Fujichrome Astia for its rich skin tone rendering with the best of Fujichrome Velvia for its lush rendering of foliage and skies.

I have tried similar products by other manufacturers over the years, all of them to varying degrees of satisfaction if not dissatisfaction, but have always returned to DxO’s software where it supports my cameras’ raw files. I was introduced to DxO’s image processing software at almost the same time I got back into photography with digital cameras and it remains the best and most reliable such software that I use. I note here for the sake of clarity that Fujifilm is the company that makes Fujifilm cameras, lenses and films as well as a vast range of other products, and that Fuji is the name of a mountain in Japan. I am learning more about DxO’s three versions of the Astia film simulations but have been focusing on the one contained in the ‘Digital Films’ category in ‘Colour Rendering’, named ‘Fuji Astia Soft’. most of them now sadly discontinued, were renown for their beautiful rendering of skin though all versions of Velvia rendered it with too much magenta for my taste. Many Fujifilm colour transparency and colour negative films.

I chose the new Astia film simulation included in DxO FilmPack 6 as a plug-in for DxO PhotoLab 5 as I have been looking for a more skintone-friendly alternative to my old favourites, Velvia 50 and Velvia 100. Fujifilm Fujichrome Astia 100F Professional (RAP 100F 120) in 120 rollfilm format.
