I love Fuji and enjoy all of the choices for film like quality. I like the colors but there is something about Leica colors that are extra special.

I have tried all sorts of settings to try to replicate Leica colors. Currently, I am trying V at -2 colors. Seems like it might be closer, but still no banana.

I know that some of you shoot Fuji and Leica. I was wondering if anyone has come up with a formula in Fuji that seems close to Leica colors.

I am strictly a jpeg shooter. I primarily shoot street with the XP1 and XE1 backup. Primary lenses are 18mm f2, 27mm pancake and 35mm f2. I do some adjustments in Elements with occasional use of Topaz Clarity, DXO filmpack and/or the NIK plugins (especially Silver for B+W)

In camera I don't see how you can do that. The closer I saw was using Capture One Pro and Leica M9 camera profile. RAW.
