In 1935, Eastman Kodak introduced one of the first color reversal film. It was used in photography and cinema. Its name? Kodachrome. It was used by many great photographers, Steve McCurry being one of them. You can see a Kodachrome gallery on the National Geographic website. You can also see the last roll of Kodachrome film used by Steve McCurry here.

This film look is iconic. Last year, Fuji made a film emulation for its X cameras based on Kodachrome and they named it Classic Chrome. It offers a nice desaturated look with good contrast. Like I said in my Fuji X100T and X-T1 review, I love the colors I get from those cameras. So I decided to develop a DNG Camera Color Profile for the LX100 based on the Fuji Classic Chrome film emulation. I know I should have done it straight from Kodachrome pictures, but I don't know anyone who photographed a Gretag-Macbeth chart with that slide film.

How I did it

I photographed a ColorChecker passport with the Fuji cameras and the LX100. I converted the LX100 file as a DNG and opened it in Adobe DNG Profile Editor (Windows | Mac).
