Re: Fujifilm X-Trans II film like qualities?

I much prefer the output of Xtrans 4 to Xtrans 2. I probably dislike 2 the most and never shoot JPG with it. But I do love adding Classic Negative to the RAF files in Capture One. The softer 16MP sensor has a nice filmic look with Classic Neg imo (I haven't compared with Xtrans 4). Less so with Lightroom's version which is cleaner or something. Unfortunately it is no extra steps to add Classic Neg in Lightroom so I may stop using Capture One, as I always then put the photos back into Lightroom after. Pal2tech has a video explaining how to get Classic Neg on older cameras in both programs.

For filmic lenses I recommended the old Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.4. The radioactive ones. The most filmic was in terrible condition so I wouldn't worry about the condition. Makes a bigger difference on Xtrans 4 cameras as the sensors are much crisper,  so that nice vintage softness is a noticeable change from super sharp contrasty lenses like the modern Fuji 50mm f2.
