Some B&W recipes might work with the newer X-Trans 5, which is the X-T5, X-H2 & X-H2s.
Can I Use The Custom Settings On Other X-Trans Cameras?
Yes, you can use the custom film simulation settings for other X-Trans sensors as long as the camera have the base film simulation such as Acros, Classic Negative and so on.
Certain setting such as the Clarity is not available in older X-Trans cameras. You can still changes the Highlights, Colors, Shadow & most important, the White Balance Shift.
Some settings might not be available and will yield different results. Custom film recipe is created to simulate the vintage film color and might not be accurate to the real film.
Can I Shoot Using The Diffusion Filter For Still Images?

Using the filter will also create a certain vintage and dreamy cinematic film-like still images that many creative shooters uses to create artsy photos. You can learn more about diffusion filters, even better if you have vintage lenses or modern sharp lenses.

Why Not Use The Base Film Simulations Available Instead?
The use of base film simulations on Fujifilm X-Series cameras is more than enough if you are not creating any custom settings.
Having able to create more Fujifilm recipes can be fun as many Fuji X shooters out there are trying to create and explore more vintage film color science options such as the Kodak Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, Ilford HP5 Plus, CineStill 800T and so on.
