Lately, I’ve been spending more time out and about with my Fuji GFX50S, and even though it doesn’t get quite as much attention in the film recipe world as the more popular X Series cameras like the X-T5, I still wanted to share some of my go-to custom recipes. These are looks I’ve personally built and refined over the past year, and they’ve really brought the camera to life for me.
Now, it’s true—the GFX50S is missing a few of the newer film simulations and doesn’t offer quite as many in-camera options for recipe creation compared to other Fujifilm bodies. But even with those limitations, I’ve had a great time experimenting, and I’m genuinely pleased with the results I've managed to achieve.
All the sample images you’ll see above each recipe are untouched JPEGs, straight out of camera—no edits, just how the GFX50S captured them.
