But I really just wanted to use this space to complain that the X-T30 doesn’t have Classic Neg “built in” even though it is the same generation as the X-T3, and further, I don’t think the C1 “version” of Classic Neg looks that good. It does offer the simulation for any X-T30 RAWs by default, which is nice. I can’t say for sure since I don’t have an X-T3+ to play around with, but the in-camera Classic Neg images I’ve seen just appear to have a little something extra to my eyes. But eh, maybe it’s just greener grass.

If that will make it any easier for you, not even X-T3 you mentioned has Classic Negative film simulation, either... It was introduced with X-Pro3 - yes, still same generation as both X-T3 and X-T30 - but never brought back, even though there was a lot of speculation (and high hopes, never fulfilled).

why not just setup one in custom sim menu? No difference from X-T4

Because it`s not the same...? And not sure what you mean by "no difference from X-T4"?

While tweaking film simulations can provide some interesting results (not to say occasionally/situationally similar), there are no tweaking options that allow matching what Classic Negative does in a wide variety of situations.

Think of it this way - "film recipes", that is film simulations with additional user configuration/changes, are more of a preset, static customization that is applied pretty much flat (always the same) on top of whatever the camera records for a given scene.

On the other hand, film simulations that Fuji provides can be programmed by Fuji engineers to behave differently depending on different scene and/or camera parameters. That level of in-camera customization is just not available to the user.

Otherwise, I do find "Capture One" version of Classic Negative "good enough" - I can`t really say from the first hand experience how it compares to Fuji`s original, and the only drawback is I can`t take JPEGs with it in-camera (as I do sometimes share/print from camera directly).
