My Kodak Gold 200 recipe for Fuji X and GFX cameras
Unsatisfied with a Fuji Gold 200 film sim from others, I decided to make my own. This was developed on an X100V and needs a few settings from that generation of cameras to get the most out of it. It's best shot in the morning and evening when light is just starting to turn gold, golden hour is almost too much but you can tone down the WB value to 4800 or so if needed for golden hour shooting.
I find it's better to overexpose this one by 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop to get the gold tones more prominent. Dynamic range between light and shadow is prioritized for a more filmic look.
I also developed a Lightroom Classic preset to be applied over the JPEG output to make the colors pop a bit more, linked below.

I have also developed a set of 3 Lightroom presets to be used on Fuji GFX RAW files to get you extremely close to the out-of-camera look of the recipe, but with the added latitude of shooting RAW. You lose the benefits of shooting DR400 in JPEG, but these will get you very close. I have not tested on Fuji X RAW files.
Gold 200 is the base preset
Gold 200 Hazy adds a softness that is similar to the clarity setting in Fuji cameras
Gold 200 Outdoor Portrait is a bit more forgiving on skin
I tend to keep the WB value somewhere about halfway between cloudy and daylight depending on the light and time of day. You will likely need to fiddle with WB to your preference when editing. The only other adjustment you need to make is Exposure, but all of the colors should be very close to the in-cam recipe.
