I mostly shoot with Sony cameras presently. In the past, Nikon, then Olympus. And some of the Olympus lenses work very nicely with adapters on Sony. But back in the days of film, I loved Fujifilm's different films, especially Velvia. I knew that Fujifilm has incorporated film emulations in their own digital cameras, which makes it appealing to consider those wonderful boxes, but, really, there is no way I am going to switch just for those emulations. And then it dawned on my wee brain that maybe there are emulations available to incorporate into the Sony cameras. I went onto a Fujifilm discussion site, and, yes, there are emulations available!! Wow! But when I tried to download them, they were no longer available; the dates on the original posts were from 2015, so there are no doubt several reasons that they might have disappeared. But does anyone know where such emulations might be obtained? I have programmed just enough in the past to know that I have no desire to wade into that sea of complexities. Rather, I just want to use the emulations.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hundreds are for-sale. Just use google.

They come and go in popularity. A company called VSCO is a big player in this area who grew in size along with the recent growth in the popularity of film.

The answer is staring you right in the lens! Buy one of the Fujifilm cameras.

Thanks for responses. Although I concur that "the answer is staring" me, I am not about to go into an entire other camera line. That they are able to be purchased seems too obvious...duh! Thanks.

I had not thought of using in camera emulators. However, I have used Lightroom presets to achieve the same. Lightroom presets seems to me to be easier to come by, employ, and offer a greater flexibility than in camera emulators.

The Post Processing program CaptureOne https://www.captureone.com/en/store/styles/black-and-white offers film emulations. Film emulations are listed as Capture one styles. Then go to film styles. Originally they listed them by name such as Velevia, or Tri-x. Now they are just numbered. Try it you might like it. BTW I am a Sony shooter but Loved Fujifilm in the old days. I went so far as to purchase a Fuji X- camera to try it out. And later sold it. Their cameras have numerous Fuji film emlations built in. Fuji was nice but I find my Sony cameras more versital. If I won the lottery, I would get their medium format camera. I hope this helps

Just shoot film :)

I used to spend cash and time trying to get my digital files to be "film like" and then after a while I just asked myself...why not shoot film if I spend my time trying to get my images to look like they were shot on film?

It's so nice...no post processing to get something that's not going to be the same anyway. Other will disagree but that's my take on it.

why emulate film? Digital is so much better - and put in enough "PP" work, you can get whatever you want regardless of what actual reality was.

The majority of my pictures the last 35 years or more have that Velvia look - but I don’t stoop to fakery.

Just a friendly FYI that Fuji refers to these as film simulations.

Forget it. The fuji processors do more than just the emulations, their jpgs are larger, they process the raw data differently from other manufacturers.The only way to get the fujifilm magic is to have a fujifilm processor, and they only come in Fuji cameras.

Years ago, I fooled around with simulating film with my digital. The only issue I noticed was that it only works on jpg files not RAW. I'd rather give up "the look" than have to shoot in anything but RAW. There are probably methods to accomplish that look in processing.

Also like the simulations. A big reason why I dumped my Sony mirrorless stuff and purchased a Fuji X-E3. Looks just like my departed Leica M2. I’ll probably add another Fuji mirrorless body next year. Also like bluetooth transfer between the X-E3 and my iPad.

You can do both with Fuji. A simple, elegant camera AND a whole lot of complicated magic if you want it.

I am fairly sure there are software solutions for your emulations available for Adobe products like Ps, Lr, PSE, etc.
