Every X-Series camera with Classic Negative. Full 15/15 compatibility with X100VI, X100V, X-T5, X-T4, X-T50, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20, X-S10, X-Pro3, X-E4, X-T30 II, X-M5, X-E5, and X-T30 III. The X-T3 and X-T30 support 11 of 15 settings (no Classic Neg, no FX Blue, no Clarity, no Grain Size).
Manual entry. You get a PDF with 15 values and you type them into your camera's Custom Settings menu. Takes about 90 seconds. I find this approach more reliable than preset files, and it works on every Fujifilm body regardless of firmware.
Shooting menu → Image Quality Settings → Custom Settings → pick a slot (C1 is a good one) → match each of the 15 values from the PDF. The PDF walks you through it with the exact menu path for X100VI. Other bodies are almost identical.
JPEG. The whole point of a Fujifilm recipe is to nail the look in-camera so you never have to edit. You can shoot RAW+JPEG if you want a backup, but the recipe only affects the JPEG output.
Yes. Once it's yours, use it however you shoot: personal projects, portfolio, and paid client or commercial work are all fine. The only thing you can't do is redistribute, resell, or share the recipe file itself. It's a paid digital product, so passing it around isn't allowed.
