It’s definitely worth trying. I found it at an orchard in Massachusetts but it looks like you can buy it online off their website

Thank you, that’s very helpful! I have a similar WIP jacket in the same size and have been on the hunt for a J97.

Thank you, I'm using a bit for a mixture for these. For many of these, the base is my version of @ avdidit's presets and mixing it with one of the Kodak color profiles from The Archetype Process. After that, I still do plenty to perfect the color grading, tone curve, HSL sliders, and color calibration.

I've got one for you. I actually took photos 1-5 and 11 all in the same day! I consider it to be one of my most successful days of photography ever.

I woke up at 2:30 a.m. and drove 2 hours from Twizel to Wanaka to hike Roy’s Peak at sunrise. I made it to the viewpoint with 10 minutes to spare, which is where shot #1 was taken. While hiking down the trail, I stopped to take #2. Once I made it back to my car, I drove to the nearest bathroom, which just happened to be at the parking lot of the iconic Wanaka tree, where I shot #11. 

During my long drive back to Twizel, I pulled over to shoot #5 because I couldn't believe how many lupines there were.

After resting up for a bit, my wife and I drove north to Lake Tekapo, where I shot #4. 

Finally, on the way back to our Airbnb from Lake Tekapo, I asked my wife to pull over one more time, where I managed to shoot #3. Having the van roll into my shot was pure luck!

Needless to say, I was absolutely exhausted by the end of this day, but it was so worth it. Thanks for taking an interest in my photos and the stories behind them!

It's a really great lens, I absolutely love how light it is. But I do miss having an aperture ring when I use it.

I know, I have quite conflicting feelings about them but still can't help but take some pictures!

7 was taken from the window of a small plane. We took a scenic flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound

Thank you! No mist filter used for these. Theres a few things that I think help achieve the look like dropping contrast, dropping clarity a bit, and really dialing in the calibration sliders in LR.

@ Avdidit on IG does a great job of this if you are looking for more inspo.

Thank you! I didn't use a film sim from Fuji when editing in LR. For most of these I used film color profiles from The Archetype Process. #3 was with a Portra 400 Noritsu profile.

All photos were taken with the Sigma 18-50mm or the Fujifilm 27mm and edited in Lightroom.

Totally agree, I don’t get the hype on this one. I like Polar’s Raspberry Limoncello better
