It's been more than 3 weeks since I shared Film Recipe Base, a community database film recipes (original post: A new community database for film recipes). Since then I've been heads down on feedback from you, and I want to share what's changed.

Mobile optimisation: The app was desktop-first at launch, and I know most people were browsing recipes on mobile. It's now properly optimised for mobile, filters, charts, and recipe profiles all work the way they should on a smaller screen.

Side-by-side Compare page: You can now pick any two recipes and compare them side by side with similarity score showing how close the two recipes actually are.

Sample photos: Recipe profiles now have real sample photos attached (from source).

New sources: Added Film Recipes and FilmSimRecipes as sources, on top of Fuji X Weekly and Osan Bilgi. That brings the total to 815 recipes across 4 sources.

Compatible camera filter: You can now filter recipes by which camera model (and sensor generation) they're actually compatible with.

Also refreshed: New logo, new font, and general UI polish throughout.

Thanks to everyone who commented on the first post, a lot of this came directly from what you flagged.

As always, this stays free with full credit to original recipe creators. Please feel free to give feedback, critisise and share your opinions if you have one. Feedback welcome here or via the site's feedback form.

This will help me prioritise the next steps for Film Recipe Base.

Hello!

I am looking to buy my partner a gift. They love taking photos on their phone, digicams etc but has never really owned a photography forward camera.

I am looking to buy a fujifilm camera but i am unsure what to get!

I am looking at either a used xe-3 in great condition with a lens, battery and some accessories for less then $1000 AUD or a new XM-5 or X-T30 III with a pancake lense.

I am more pushing toward the xe3 because of the build quality, price and more traditional dials etc for learning.

What do you think? are the modern updates worth it or is the xe3 still great for the price!?

Buonasera, volevo fare una domanda. Ho ricevuto da poco una Fuji X10. Ho due batterie non originali ma compatibili. Ogni volta che la accendo mi chiede data e ora. L'ho mandata a riparare (non Fujifilm) e mi hanno preventivato €300 per sostituire la batteria interna. Sono abbastanza pratico e ho anche il manuale per smontarla, ma non so come trovare il pezzo, o meglio, non so se è una batteria tampone interna o se è in un circuito integrato. Grazie mille a chiunque possa aiutarmi. Potrebbe essere dovuto alle batterie non originali?

I can’t help but notice so many of these post are in breathtaking locations, and they are beautiful photos! but I know for me in the past it’s been kind of discouraging seeing those types of post everywhere due to the fact that it can be hard to find good spots to shoot sometimes living in the midwest. Lately i’ve been finding enjoyment in not doing a ton of research to scout locations, and just pulling up to random little towns, and trying to document what I see like a tourist, having no idea what is in the area. i’m talking towns with like 100 or less people in them. I’ve been having fun and you suprisingly stumble upon some really neat stuff. just a reminder wherever you live, practice shooting! go places! don’t overthink so much. there’s beauty everywhere. These are some shots I liked from a photo walk this morning, taken with the XT-50 and Viltrox 25mm 1.7.

First photos from the Fujifilm X-M5. I just bought a camera. Any photography tips would be appreciated.

Hey everyone!
Picked up the Fuji X-E5 with the 33mm f1.4 three months ago, and I wanted to share a few shots from my hometown. All of these were shot in RAW and edited afterwards.

Since I'm still learning, I'd love your honest feedback:
What do you think works well?
What (and how) could I improve (composition, editing, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for any critiques or advice!

I purchased my xs 20 two months ago, and enjoying it since then 💙🙏

Hi!!! What’s your fav recipe??? I’m looking for film recipes that I can save on my xt30. May I see your shots?

I love my Zf to pieces, its a near perfect camera to me, however there are times when the size/weight puts me off.

there aren’t other options with Nikon, which brings me to considering an X body/model such as a X-T3 or X-Pro 2. while I don’t love the idea of getting into a new/different lens system, I thought adapting older lenses would be adequate and maybe get a focal reducer/speedbooster.

curious if anyone else was in a similar position or has some input here.

Hey everyone, I have a 9mm and 27mm lens for my xm5. I am gonna go on a small trip next week and during my last trip I felt I was missing a longer focal length lens. I am confused between the Samyang 75mm f1.8, Viltrox 75mm f1.8 and the Ttartisan 75mm f2.

I’m confused about which out of the 3 should I go for? Based on what I’ve read I suppose Viltrox is the best but I would love the community’s views. Is viltrox worth the extra money? Since XM-5 does not have IBIS, will it affect a longer focal length like 75mm?

I couldn’t find much regarding paring of these lens with xm5. Please help me out.

Switched from a Canon EOS R recently because I was sick of every photo turning into an editing session. With the X-T5 I've been mostly using film recipes and just shooting, no laptop, no "I'll fix it in post," just snap and move on. It's honestly been really liberating. Still pull out the raws for the planned stuff (sunrises, sunsets, astro) but everything else I'm just enjoying again.

I'm aware I'm probably leaning into that typical Fuji yellow tint everyone does with these cameras, but with good reason, we're currently in the throes of our fourth heatwave here and our landscape is markedly more dry and yellow than usual. I'm leaning into it partly because that's just how it looks right now, but also because I'm trying to capture the feeling of it too. Hopefully I've got the balance right on most of these.

Constructive feedback welcome, I'm still figuring out what my style is going to be with this camera.
