Metz Mecablitz M400

Metz just released the full information about their new Fuji compatible Metz Mecablitz M400 here. As reported here, it supports HSS and TTL.

EF-X500

Here is an information, X-T1 owners should be aware of before buying the EF-X500. Asked by X-shooter Alexander, the Fuji Guys answered in the comments to this video:

“Wireless TTL control is not possible with the X-T1. As we understand it, the processor of the X-T1 can not handle the necessary processing, and therefor there will not be a firmware update to enable wireless TTL on the X-T1.”

I remind you that the launch of the EF-X500 has just been postponed again to mid-November.

Will Fuji X Gear Ever be So Cheap Again? :: Last 2 Fuji USA X Deals Days!

Fuji Savings Image

In the last months we have seen price increases all over the world (on Fuji Gear and also other brands), due to the Kumamoto earthquake and the currency fluctuations following the Brexit vote.

This does NOT mean, that Fujifilm will for sure raise prices on X-gear in USA (I have no rumors about it). But on the other hand I also can’t assure you, that in a few months from now, Fuji won’t “adjust” the price tag on Fuji X gear also in USA.

I don’t know what’s better, wait and hope for the best (and maybe an even better deal in future), or get it now. This decision is up to you.

The Medium Format Fujifilm Will Have an Interchangeable Viewfinder

The Interchangeable Viewfinder

I’ve heard this first from an anonymous source a couple of days ago (thanks), and I can now confirm it also via trusted source (thanks again): the Medium Format Fujifilm will have an interchangeable viewfinder!

So what’s that? It sounds like the intercheangable viewfinder we find on the PhaseOne XF, where you can attach a waist level viewfinder (verical tilting) or a standard viewfinder. Of course the PhaseOne solution is for Optical Viewfinders… now you just imagine the same with EVF’s.

See the PhaseOne XF Video below to get a more clear idea.

NEWS FLASH: Fujifilm EF-X500 Postponed (Again!!!)…. but at Least We Have the New Metz Mecablitz M400 (with HSS + TTL)

Ok folks… I’ve stopped to keep track of how many time the EF-X500 has been postponed. I just let you know that it happened again. It was supposed to hit the market in late September, but Fujifilm postponed it further until mid November.

google translated: Recently, it had been guided 2016 September 29 (Thursday) Release, for high-end multi-function external flash “clip-on flash EF-X500”, the time to the quality evaluation of the development than originally expected final stage because you are required, we have decided that I am allowed to postpone released in the 2016 November 17 (Thursday).

I bet a bottle of wine that we are lucky if it comes sometimes in 2017!

The good news: as reported in my dedicated Flash post earlier today, Metz announced the Metz Mecablitz M400, a real alternative to the EF-X500, since it supports TTL and HSS for Fujifilm X-series cameras.
