Olden vs. Modern day FujiColor

To my eye, with the cameras I've had and have, the X-Trans III colours are more pleasing than X-Trans IV. I rarely use Velvia but it looks almost unusable on the X-S10, whereas on the X-H1 I did like it in some circumstances. Same with Classic Chrome and Provia. These are all at default values in-camera. I also had a favourite film sim recipe on my X-H1 I called "Warm Chrome", but I am really struggling to replicate it on my X-T3, and haven't even tried on the X-S10. So I think there's something to the difference claims that perhaps are not easily measured with controls

That's all OK with me and I won't contest any of it. It's just we're curious cats so at what concise length would you paraphrase the – perhaps overall – differences that you found out about? After all I'll need to deal with gen. IV coloration character for some while to come. And rely on SOOC redevelopment mostly.

[ on a wide-angle view to the bunch of both new and revived threads on all this I've even started to wonder if maybe it was necessary for Fujifilm to tune down several profiles, if just to ensure that the engagement of FX boosters would not go blow out colour channels beyond their clipping point all that soon.
