This Recipe is Taking the Fujifilm Community by Storm – Classic Cuban Neg
Over at our Fujifilm film simulation group, there is a new recipe that is taking the Fujifilm community by storm: Classic Cuban Negative.
Originally crafted by member Osan (IG: @osanbilgi), his recipe is harvesting likes and praise at our group.
Other members have already dialed it into their camera, such as fellow member stu here, who also made a YouTube video about it that you can check out below.
The film simulation is quite flexible and works well on a variety of settings, but shines best in street photography.
Osan has also made a couple of variations to the original recipe, such as CubanAce Recipe and Cuban Street Neg (similar to Classic Cuban Negative but a bit more subtle and easier on skin tones, hence more suited for shots with people in scene).
You can check out all the images of Osan here, as well as the recipe.
But for those, who are not part of the film simulation group, here is the recipe:

Fujifilm Says Bug Fix Firmware for X-T5(and X-H2/S) Should Come in July
A FR-reader contacted the Fujifilm support asking about the buggy firmware for his Fujifilm X-T5.
The reply he got is that if he sends his Fujifilm X-T5 in for support, they will install the older firmware on it.
But the Fujifilm support has also received the information that the next update will be released in July.
Now, this is for the X-T5. But considering that the X-H2 and X-H2S have the same issue, I guess that’s valid also for those cameras.
While I am happy to read that Fujifilm is aware of the issue and working on it, I hope they can release it earlier than July. Or at least make the older firmware available for everyone for download.
Fujifilm Firmware Updates for GFX100II and GF55mmF1.7

- the tracking AF bug fix for X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2S
- Reala Ace & more on all 5th generation camera models
You can find all the details about today’s firmware below.
