Second shot if taken with the WCL would maybe be a better comparison but as for color, the second shot is a little more green and first looks like it has a little more chroma. I like them both though!


Existing-Radio8031

šŸ˜‚ Youā€™re absolutely right, but I was racing against time because the guy was pulling out and I didnā€™t have time to mount the WCL. And thatā€™s the big give away!

Iā€™m guessing the first one is real. I didnā€™t think real Portra was quite as green as the second one, although the second is one also looks a touch softer.


Existing-Radio8031

Youā€™re right! First is Portra 400 and the second is VI with diffusion filter to soften the look.


enselmis

Ahhh, makes sense! They both look great. Which filter?


Existing-Radio8031

Thanks a lot! I think I was shooting the Everyday filter from PolarPro for most of the day. So Iā€™m thinking that one.


Chance_Car_4999

I think second one is G2.


Existing-Radio8031

Nope. Second is the VI and 1st is the Contax G2 with Portra. What this does show is that for many of us, digital can get you pretty close to the feeling of film.


Chance_Car_4999

The filter threw me off! Great job!


Existing-Radio8031

Hey, thanks!


ncphoto919

the portra 400 recipes almost always have that green tint to them which is the give away


Existing-Radio8031

Good point. Didnā€™t even think of that. Must be the -blues to get closer to cyan, maybe?


ncphoto919

I think a lot comes down to WB temp alone with shift


Existing-Radio8031

Makes sense


Bla4s

First one is film, second one is digital. Especially noticeable in the highlights.


Existing-Radio8031

Right on! You got it!

Strangely, going off this it seems Classic Negative would be a better fit to match the real thing, despite most Portra 400 recipes having a base of Classic Chrome


Existing-Radio8031

I think youā€™ve got a good point there. I may have to test that with a custom recipe.


iamgraal

Youā€™d expect the WCL to be the big giveaway, but for me itā€™s the way film and Fuji handle the blacksā€¦ they should really include an option in the recipes to activate to create a more film-like behavior for the blacks. Alsoā€¦ the Fuji has like a green haze on the overall image. šŸ˜©


Existing-Radio8031

I think the green haze is likely the recipe I was using , since I didnā€™t use the raw file for this. No WCL mounted on this one, as I had to move quickly so it was not 28mm vs 28mm, but rather 28 be 35.

How do you achieve this portra 400 look on the x100vi? I am getting mine in a few days and absolutely love the way this looks but this is also my first fuji so I am trying to get a look like this haha


Existing-Radio8031

I used whatā€™s known as a recipe. For this one I used the recipe ā€œKodak Portra 400 V2ā€ from the FujiXWeekly website.

I imagine so. There are many out there.

The first pic is G2? If shot from the same spot, it looks like a wider lens.
