Excellent course and helped me fully understand the differences and similarities in the various fujifilm film simulations.

I highly recommend this course for anybody who's a newbie in Fujifilm photography for getting an understanding of how powerful is their camera.

Opened the curtain to appreciate what the simulations are all about.

Marci Segal

A great overview of film simulations. This class really helped me to understand film simulations much better especially Acros.

An in-depth course about fuji film simulations, hard to find anywhere else

Eduardo González Hernando

I've been shooting Fuji for over ten years, and never really got beyond Provia and Acros+R (sometimes Classic Chrome). Silly. I know. This was a great, easy to digest primer. It helped make things a bit less intimidating. My favourite tip was adjusting the WB for the Acros filters. Thanks to John for taking the time to produce this.

Randy Preising

Really good introduction to the basics, and some more advanced topics. The camera menu run-through was a bit too much of a list but overall the course was excellent.

Paul Haggarty

The best explanation for how and when to use the Fujifilm simulations. You could spend a lot of time in trial and error determining how to best use the simulations in camera only resulting in frustration. When here it is the best explained and demonstrated uses for the simulation. It just doesn't get any better than this.
