Fujipop Trio 2

As some of you might already know, in June 2023 I found some expired (by only one year) Fujicolor C200 35mm film in my attic. After loading this film into Ruth’s Konica Pop I headed down to Dublin for the day to shoot the roll.

What you might not know is that on that day I also took with me my X-T4 and snapped a few digital RAW frames alongside the roll of film. Once I had the scans back from the developers, I was able to pull up the RAW files in Fuji X RAW Studio alongside the scans and create some recipes with the aim of recreating the 35mm look captured by the Fujicolor C200 film shot with the Konica Pop. The ‘Fujipop Trio’ is what resulted from this experiment and I’m really happy with the results…


One thing that took me by surprise regarding the roll of Fujicolor C200 was how saturated the images were. The blues and reds were so vibrant, absolutely popping out of the frame. When using the Fujipop Trio II Classic Negative Recipe one thing I really noticed was although the green tones were good, the red and blue tones lacked the same punch as the Fujicolor stock.

After tweaking the recipe a little I landed on a new version and aptly called it Fuji Trio II. This recipe has Classic Chrome at its base and is perfect for capturing the blue/teal/red tones in the image. The greens definitely aren’t colour accurate with this recipe but it’s a great one for street shots when you want the reds and blues to pop.

Have a look below at some example images below…
