Meet FRGMT BW – Fujifilm’s First ‘Official’ Film Simulation Recipe

We reported how Fujifilm announced the limited release of the Fujifilm GFX100RF Fragment Edition.

You can check out all details in this article.

Interestingly, the camera will not have the known “monochrome” film simulations, but it will be launched with an all new film simulation recipe built into it. Fujifilm calls it FRGMT BW (Fragment Black & White).

I guess this makes it the first ever ‘official’ Fujifilm film simulation recipe.

If you want to dial it into your camera too, then here are the settings.

  • ACROS
  • grain effect: strong/large
  • tone curve (highlight): +4
  • tone curve (shadow): +2
  • sharpness: -4
  • high sensitivity Noise reduction: -4
  • clarity: +5
  • exposure compensation: +1/3

Basically: a vivid, grain-kissed, high-contrast black and white aesthetic.

By the way: the regualr monochrome film simulation is not available on the Fujifilm GFX100RF Fragment Edition, but all other film simulations will be there.

This Chart Shows You the Full List of Fujinon XF/XC and Third Party X Mount Autofocus Lenses

With the announcement of the Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3, fellow FR-reader Hiergeist has updated his fantastic chart, showing the complete lineup of native Fujinon X lenses along with all third-party autofocus X-mount lenses.

It’s such a well-made and convenient list — offering a quick yet comprehensive overview — that I felt it deserved its own dedicated article.

All autofocus lenses are neatly organized by type (small primes, fast primes, etc.) and focal length. Also, the chart lists lenses that have been officially announced (or rumored) but are not yet available on the market. All lenses are mounted on the Fujifilm X-T5, giving you an instant and clear idea of each lens’s size relative to the others.

You can check out the full chart here.

Moreover, I have added all those lenses on one single dedicated Amazon page here, so you can see them all as well as the price.

Feel free to check out the full chart (Amazon Page here – JPEG chart here).

The Fujifilm community truly is the best one! :)

If you want to know what I personally own, you’ll find it listed here:
