Hope I can get an answer for my problem here as I've spent days searching online invain.

I'm shooting only JPEG SOOC for work as I need to hand my pictures to the customers by the end of the day.

As much as I love my X-T4 over my previous Sony a6500 I'm having a hard time with it. I'm only using one camera with one lens (XF18-55mm) and I'm hiking with it all day long. 

I take pictures of the customers around the many waterfalls and views we have around here. I rarely have time to "deal" with the camera settings.

Since Fuji film simulations recipes are mostly, well, simulating films I've been getting quite a lot of compliments from customers saying the the pictures look "too artistic","dull" or "feels a bit washed color".

I'm in a dire search for a modern, clean, sharp and poppi kind of film recipe! One (or more)I can use in many different scenarios. 

Hope my redemption will come from this forum and you good people that know photography and Fujifilm way better then me.

Thank you for reading this long post and looking forward to your comments.

Thank you Jerry for your comment!

I've searched through and through on both of this places and through the more known one fujixweekly and still came out empty handed.

It is very possible I've missed a recipe that would have solved my problem due to the sheer number of recipes this guys have, and this is why I'm asking here for help.

Zohar, you do not say in your message how long you have used your fuji xt4 nor which of the on-board film sims you have used.

My experience with my X-S10 and X100v suggests that using the standard Provia film sim, set WB to daylight and get your exposure right (use the histogram) will give you a perfect jpeg SOOC suitable for skin tones as well as water falls.

You may have tried this already but if not I suggest you give it a go.

Best of luck, Dave.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
