“Forgotten Negative” Film Simulation Recipe

Forgotten Negative

As I am writing this, I am on a bus ride back home.

Just to pass some time, I decided to scroll through the images shared at our Fujifilm Film Simulation group.

During my scoling, I stumbled on a post by Timothy (Instagram), who shared some lovely images taken with his own film simulation recipe that he calls “Forgotten Negative“.

You can find sample images in the posts below.

I love the look of the sample images and I thought it’s something you might want to try out.

In fact, I am programming it now also on my Fujifilm X-T5 while sitting in the bus and I have taken my first Forgotten Negative image just from the bus window. Can’t wait to try it out more in the next days.

Say (Soon) Goodbye to the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8 Rebate (and all X/GFX Deals are Gone too)

The Fujifilm X and GFX deals expired in USA.

What’s left are some sweet deals on Fujifilm X mount Sigma and Tamron lenses, including a rebate on the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8, which was the best selling Sigma X mount lens of 2023.

The deal on the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8 ends tomorrow. No time indication is given on when the other third party lens deals will end.

Best Sellers 2023

❤️ Subscribe to FujiRumors YouTube Channel

It’s time to look back at what sold most among the FujiRumors community in 2023. And if you are interested, you can give a look at what sold best in the previous years.

The data is based on affiliate sales made via Amazon and BHphoto.

Of course this is not representative for the worldwide Fujifilm market. For example, on FujiRumors the Fujifilm GFX100 II outsold the X-S20, whereas on the overall market it’s more likely the opposite. That’s because FujiRumors readers, while appreciating mid-range gear, are mainly interested in higher end gear.

Fujifilm X-T6 in 2024? Let’s Talk about it!

After I have shared my Fujifilm 2024 – What’s Coming article, lots of you dropped me comments and emails, indicating that there should be also a Fujifilm X-T6 in 2024.

The reason why so many of you believe 2024 will be the year of Fujifilm X-T6, is because the X-T line got refreshed every two years:

  • 2014 = X-T1
  • 2016 = X-T2
  • 2018 = X-T3
  • 2020 = X-T4
  • 2022 = X-T5
  • 2024 = X-T6?

So an X-T6 has to come in 2024, right?

Well, it could be.

I have no rumors telling me it won’t come in 2024. So it’s possible.

But the list above does not really tell the whole story.

In the video above (click and it starts automatically at the right point) I address my biggest disappointment of 2023 (and my biggest hope for 2024)

My Biggest Fujifilm Disappointement of 2023

It’s Christmas time.

We get all more kind, more gentle, we show how much we love each other and…

… forget about it…

Not in the mood for that today.

Today I want to moan, to complain and to unleash my biggest Fujifilm frustration 2023 towards the Fujifilm headquarter of Japan.

Here it is.

Dear Fujifilm,
