Lumenary Vision Reviews

The 4.87 average comes from 265 reviews that buyers wrote after their purchase.

The product page shows 4.87 out of 5 from 265 reviews of the Essential Frontier edition, as of 27 October 2026. Buyers are asked for a review after the purchase through Klaviyo Reviews. The review widget further down this page lists every review the shop has received, unfiltered. That number is larger, more than 360, because it also counts reviews of the previous version and reviews of the shop itself.

The quotes on this page come from a smaller group, the 124 longer reviews by verified buyers of Analog Vision Studio V2 written up to 22 July 2026, which is the export I had when I wrote this page. Newer reviews are in the widget and not among the quotes. I chose quotes that describe something you can check, such as a camera, a kind of light or a step in Lightroom, and I kept the ones with reservations in. The wording is word for word. Where I left out sentences, a […] marks the gap, and spelling mistakes stay as written.

Two reviewers report closer matches in clean light than in flat or difficult light.

The profiles are built for daylight, and I come back to that in the section on limits.

Reviewers name skin tones, landscapes and the cameras they used.

These are individual experiences, so I do not read a rule about any camera or file type out of them. Which cameras the Professional versions cover is listed on the supported cameras page.

Reviewers describe the Lightroom workflow, including the time it takes to get used to it.

If you want to see the installation before buying, the installation guide is public.

Reviewers also name things they would change.

The profiles have limits, and some of them decide whether they fit your setup.

• Camera and file type. The Professional versions need a RAW file from one of the cameras on the supported cameras list. The Standard versions work with any camera Lightroom supports and with JPEG. On a JPEG, results can look different or be less precise, because the camera's own colour rendering is already in the file. I would advise RAW wherever possible, and a lower Amount slider if you work with JPEGs.
• Light. The profiles are built for daylight. They stay fairly flexible, and flash works. In night scenes and with extreme colours the result can move away from the film, which matches what the two reviewers at the top of this page describe.
• Profiles instead of presets. The sliders stay where they were, as one reviewer notes above, and two reviewers mention an adjustment period. If you want a preset that sets every slider for you, this works differently.
• Software. The film profiles and workflow presets run in Lightroom Classic 7.3+, Lightroom (cloud) 1.3+ and Camera Raw 10.3+, and on mobile through Creative Cloud sync. The AVS Lab Tech plugin runs only in Lightroom Classic 12+. The browser-only version at lightroom.adobe.com cannot import custom profiles. Every edition is also available for Capture One, for one camera model per purchase. Video editors are not supported.
• Delivery and returns. The product is a digital download with no shipping. The conditions for withdrawal and refunds are written out in the refund policy. The free sample is there so you can check the look on your own files before you buy.

You can try two film stocks for free before you decide.

The free sample contains Kodacolor 100 and Vision 3 250D, each at 0 EV and in the Standard version only. It comes without AVS Lab Tech, workflow presets and Professional, and the download arrives by email after you sign up. The full Analog Vision Studio V2.1 Essential has six film stocks with six exposures each, in Standard and Professional, plus 37 workflow presets and the AVS Lab Tech plugin, for 89 € once with no subscription. Photos made with it are on the sample photos page. The film stock library lists the other editions, with up to 23 film stocks scanned on Frontier and Noritsu.
