The fashion to imitate old film characteristics baffles me. It appears that to some photographers, the tones, colours, contrast etc is more important than the subject, lighting, composition etc.

Hello Berny, Well, I understand what you’re saying, and indeed, sometimes I have that feeling too – especially when it comes to Fujiflm.
But I don’t think that is the case for most people, the majority of photographers nowadays only shoot JPG, and then you use a color grading from the manufacturer anyway – certainly with Fujifilm, but also others, only they call it Vivid or Natural. .
I photograph Raw myself, and you don’t leave them as they are – no one does that. So, I then choose to determine that tone afterwards according to my choice through Luts.
Luts are the new presets, and in the foreseeable future you won’t find cameras without them – it’s already happening at Sony, Nikon and Panasonic.
But taking the photo, composition etc, will always be the most important.
By the way, what camera do you use ?
Thanks for your comment Berny,
Regards,
Marc.

Thank you for your reply. I can see the application for JPEG shooters. I very rarely shoot JPEGs, only raw and I don’t use presets except for common adjustments (sharpening, local contrast etc., )
I can’t think of any situation where I would need a LUT.
Kind regards
Berny

I forgot to state my camera: I have a Panasonic Lumix G9 M43. I adopted M43 for a couple of reasons: I am well past my sell-by date but like to do landscape photography, especially in the English Lake district which involves some hill walking so portability is important. Also, the plethora of lenses at reasonable prices is attractive. I also like to do minimalist, long exposure photography and long exposures of waterfalls and carry a Heipi travel tripod which is the best tripod I have owned with a brilliant design and is lightweight.

I’m not sure how long ago you hit your sell-by date, Berny, but I hit mine at – 63 as of last month. Yet, even if you’re older, we are both from the analogue era anyway, you probably also developed film yourself and printed photos in the darkroom – at least I did a lot.
What I’m really saying is, everyone is different, and that’s okay, otherwise we’d all be taking the same photos and they’d all look the same.
The Lumix G9 is a great camera, and I hesitated for a long time between Olympus and Panasonic.
Ultimately, I don’t think the difference will be very big.
That’s right, a wide range of lenses at reasonable prices, I also have some Panasonic lenses myself, including the Lumix Leica 100-400mm, a great lens.
I looked up the Heipi tripod, it looks very good, and I will definitely take a closer look – thanks for the tip!
If you have a website or photo gallery somewhere, please let me know, I would be very interested in seeing your work.
It was nice talking to you Berny,
hope to see you again here – or maybe me on your site
Have a nice weekend and all the best!
Marc

I also have the 100-400 Leica. Love it but need to take it out more often. My sell-by is another 10 years and yes, my 1st darkroom was some planks of wood across our bath with a sheet of hardboard to make it dark. I think it was a Gnome enlarger and I loaded film into the spiral in the cupboard under the stairs. I don’t have a web site yet but this is my Flickr page.
