Fuji Showcase Fujifilm Classic Chrome Film Simulation

I've always liked the Classic Chrome look, but never really found one I liked as I tend to take landscape-ish type piccies. So today I tried Richie Roesch's Vintage Kodachrome recipe and really liked it... almost! So I set about experimenting and I ended up with the same as Richie except for Highlights +3 (instead of +4) and White Balance +2/-3 (instead of +2/-4). I set grain to 0 instead of strong as I'd rather be able to add it if wanted.

These are all SooC jpegs with a few having a minor exposure tweak and #6 having the highights down and the shadows up a small amount. They all have texture, clarity and sharpness added. I've since taken the in camera sharpness to 0 as I prefer to do that in Lightroom.

My recently acquired XF10 has a number of Fuji's film simulations built-in to it - including Provia and Velvia, both of which have their charms - but I'm liking the muted tones and inherently contrasty shadows of this camera's Classic Chrome. This was taken on an overcast, rainy day--
