I use a Fujifilm XPro-3 with a 10% cinebloom filter in front of a 35MM 1.4f but I also use vintage lenses sometimes but I’m sure it doesn’t matter what camera you use as long as it’s not dog shit, it's about the lens if anything ...
Color film is almost impossible without reference, and the grain is very complex but most of all the color itself is the hardest things to replicate, but that’s what they said about b/w film too, but I can honestly say I can make any b/w photo look like film.
The problem with most of these “make your photos look like film” articles and YouTube videos is they just layer randomized noise on a photo. Film grain is controlled randomness depending on the contrast of light. I make a duplicate copy of the photo in editing and basically make organic noise unique to the photo by generating it based off the photo, it’s like making the duplicate photo turn into little tiny grains, overlay it and blend it on the original photo with a lot of fine tuning (if that makes sense, I’ll show the process in detail later, I’m still figuring some things out)
