In this video I hone in on Fujifilm X100VI's new film simulation - Reala Ace, and spend some time shooting on it.
I loved this film simulation and I think it may become one of my favourites right next to classic chrome. I wish it was a little bit more punchy sometimes, but I love the dynamic range that this shows off with the new sensor and I'm super happy they decided to include it on this camera.
This was a resource that I loved when getting to know about the original film emulsion: alikgriffin.com/reala-ace-fil...
If you have any questions let me know and I'll see you next week for another video!

Hope it comes soon. I’ve had one in a box unused from March 2nd from John Lewis. I was weighing up whether to keep it and all the Amazon bolt on bits as it was all heading towards £2k. Other option was an XT 5 and the 23mm F1.4 but it’s much bigger, heavier and about £2.5k. I’ve got lots of top Canon SLR kit and so moving full on into Fuji mirrorless and lenses didn’t make sense. The X100VI is now off on a tour of China in a few weeks and will be far more discrete in public. I’ll take a Canon M5 and a few Canon M lenses as a supplement for rural, rivers, mountains etc. Given we have to cart cases and backpacks around for 2.5 weeks, small and light makes more sense.

Fuji Reala (Reeeaala!) was a 100ASA film that produced great greens and was widely available 20 years ago. It is such a shame that it is all but forgotten these days. Interesting that Fujifilm have revived the name in the X100VI...

@@simondifazio4089glad you raised the pronunciation bit……like you I shot on MF with roll. Took loads to India and West Coast USA. Think the processing, printing and blow ups worked out at about £1k a trip and that was 30+ years ago. I used to get my films and print from the old pro place on the way to Euston station. Think they did lots of NASA work. Looking at my study wall, Velvia 5O printed on Cibachrome paper still looks as fresh as the day they were printed by a pro we used at work. Think it was early 1992….quality sticks….

@richardcarlson112 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your video and insight into Reala Ace, which I hope will come to my X-H2 soon. Being an older guy, I grew up shooting negative and then slide/positive films as an enthusiast. Reala wasn't only available in Japan. It was released in Canada and the US, roughly somewhere in the 1980's, so probably also Europe the same time. I remember their promotions when it was released. It was called Reala rather than Reala Ace. It was a bit more expensive that fuji's standard Fujicolor negative film but it was sold widely and it wasn't just for professionals. It was known for better colour overall (including skin tones) and softer shadows. Superia didn't exist until many years later.

@JoseViegas 3 месяца назад

Are these shots direct from the camera, or edited from RAW using Reala Ace from the photo editor? And if they are SOOC JPGs, are they with the default settings or some kind of recipe?

@gabrielbailey802 3 месяца назад

Good question, a lot of them are SOOC, some of them are applied in Lightroom with exposure and contrast tweaked

@Regzillaaa 3 месяца назад

Do you find it helpful shooting the JPEG film sims + raw or does that feel like a more fiddly work flow and less enjoyable? I’ve had x100vi only one day and trying to decide how to approach this

@gabrielbailey802 3 месяца назад

Good question! I feel like I go for JPEG first, then I have the RAW there so if something needs to be tweaked I can do it. Then I can get best of both worlds without stressing too much, and getting the benefit of those juicy JPEG’s
