Leica X
Bring timeless Leica tones to your images with my custom Leica recipe for Fujifilm X cameras.
I originally designed this for my Fujifilm X100VI to emulate the coveted Leica Colour. I started with Velvia for its punch but eventually settled on Classic Chrome for its subtlety. To balance it out, I bumped the colour all the way up until it felt just right. I first shared this in the r/x100vi Reddit community and didn’t expect such a positive response, so I’m posting it here for other Fujifilm jpeg shooters and easier access.
This recipe was built on an X-Trans V sensor and should work well on any Fujifilm camera with the same sensor, such as the X-T5. If you're using an older model, you can try punching in as many of the settings as possible and tweak from there.
