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.

Yes, of course! Why not? All the recipes will work on the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 & X-H2S. We have came across some test by X-H2 users and it works on the X-Trans 5 sensor. Most of the recipes are fine-tuned using the White Balance Shift or Kelvin temperature, so the tone will be same.

If you are looking for the Fujifilm X-T5 film recipes, feel free to try experiment it on the X-T5. It will be different but still usable and might look even better!
