I guess I live under a rock, as I just learned this last night, and am shocked I didn't learn of it sooner
as I've had my D600 for some time now.. (eta: my D7100 can do it as well!  the 2nd link has a list of compatible models)

back track..  when I bought my Fuji X-T10, just to dip my toes into the mirrorless camera realm,
one of the selling points for me, was that I could emulate various film types, in camera.
I love that camera, and my experience with it is driving my quest for something more up to date
(moar pixels and IBIS)

I wanted to know if I could do the emulation thing with my prospect z7ii.
Not only will the newer z cameras do it, but several of the higher-ish D models.

so I'm going to play around with them, and  see whats what.

I figured I'd share this info with others, in case others did not know of this feature

That looks like something I would definitely prefer to do post processing and not in camera.


I would assume the filtered photo is only saved as a jpg leaving the raw file original?

Same in post as well. And I really only shoot raw. But, non the less, that's a neat feature that I hadn't seen before.

For free you could download PhotoScape.  It's an editor that comes with film emulators (filters) for Velvia, Provia, Portra, Agfa.  

And swing by a flea market this summer and pick up a Nikon film camera.  Shoot me an IM and I'll send you a couple rolls of film.  No faking required.

Haha.  No faking required here..

For film, I have an F2A and an F5 (my fav) as far as Nikons go.

I also have a Kodak Pony 135, Zorki 4 and an Mamiya M645 set up.

Ah, excellent!  I have a couple F2, and a couple F5.  And I can see how the F5 is your favorite.  Like shooting fish in a barrel.

One of the F2 was a charity shop find and is enroute back from service.  Apparently, the tech was able to get the meter working in the head.  Mechanical work of art, the F2.  I would never have been able to afford one back in the day.  Or an F5.

Stumbled across a yard sale last summer.  Saw a film dryer out in the sellers driveway.  I bought it.  I asked the lady,  "...you have any cameras or film...?"  She walks me over to a freezer that is packed with film.  Fiddy bucks.  320 rolls.  99.5% C41.  Husband passed.  Cameras were all donated and gone.  But a lifetime of film to keep me shootin'

Cheers!
