Godox AD600Pro II All-in-One Outdoor Flash Announced

Share

Godox has just announced the new Godox AD600Pro II All-in-One Outdoor Flash.

A curiosity: anyone out there who has used both, Godox and Profoto speedlights? Because my impression is that the Godox gear is a no brainer, but maybe there are strong arguments in favor of Profoto gear.

One that comes to my mind is that it seems Fujifilm cooperates more closely with Profoto, because certain bugs happen only with Godox gear and not with Profoto gear.

Key Features

  • One-Tap Sync with Optional X3 Trigger
  • Compatible with Most TTL Systems
  • 600Ws, 1/512 to 1/1 Power Output
  • Up to 360 Full-Power Flashes
  • Flash Duration: 1/220 to 1/11,760 sec
  • 1/8000 sec High-Speed Sync
  • 0.01-0.9 sec Recycling Time
  • 40W Bi-Color LED Modeling Lamp
  • Upgraded TFT Screen for Onboard Control
  • Includes Battery & Charger

Fujifilm Early Fall GFX Deals, or When a $1,600 Rebate on GFX100S is Not Enough

Share

Fujifilm has just launched their “Early Fall” deals.

The list of deals until now is very short. Here it is:

These are basically the same old deals on these items we have since months now.

Look, I own the GFX100S and in theory a $1,600 would be a great deal.

But there is one problem: there is camera out there called Fujifilm GFX100S II, which comes with a new processor and a superior autofocus, a better EVF and overall just a specs bump that I believe is worth the $600 you pay more for it compared to the rebated GFX100S.

The Fujifilm GFX100S (which I own), is still a wonderful camera. That’s why I think Fujifilm should just go crazy with it and offer it at $3,000!

Sure, they might not make a penny out of it, but at such a price, the GFX100S would be a crazy good deal and it would certainly bring lots of new users into the GFX system. Users who’d then buy lenses and eventually upgrade to more modern GFX bodies.

Listen to me, Fujifilm… just do it! Sell it for 3K! You’d see lots of Full Frame users getting tempted at that price ;).

So, at the end, do I recommend to buy the GFX100S at that price?

Well, these might seem a strange answer, considering it comes from a guy who is very happy with his GFX100S. But my answer is “no”. If Fujfiilm listens to me and offers it for 3K, then it would a no brainer to recommend. But as it stands now, if you really want to buy into the GFX system, then the probably best camera to get into it is the Fujifilm GFX100S II, or, if you want the ultimate GFX, then the GFX100 II.

Fujifilm GFX Zone: Reviews, Experience… and Dreams in a World Fuller than Full Frame!

Share

Today I wanted to share a roundup dedicated to the Fujifilm GFX system.

The roundup will cover the latest and greatest, from the cameras like the flagship Fujifilm GFX100II and the brand new Fujifilm GFX100S II, to G mount lenses such as the (back-ordered) Fujinon GF20-35mmF4 and the new Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt Shift.

And we will include also “dreams” or “wishes” about a Fujifilm GFX180 and GFX250.

As you know I am a Fujifilm GFX shooter myself, and last year I made one of my best hikes in the Dolomites with it. You can read my experience below.

How To Quickly Access Your Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipes and About the Missed Film Simulation Dial Opportunity

Share

We just reported about the dedicated Film Simulation Photowalks that Fujifilm USA has organized together with Fujifilm X Weekly.

Well, one more thing just came to my mind, and I thought it is worth to talk about it in this article.

To me, it seems that Fujifilm USA has (finally) understood how important film simulation recipes are for the Fujifilm community.

Sadly we can’t say the same of Fujifilm Japan, who is not putting any marketing effort into promoting film simulation recipes.

Sure, Fujifilm Japan did give us the film simulation dial on the Fujifilm X-T50, but the fact that you can’t assign a recipe to the FS1, FS2 and FS3 position to the dial shows that Fujifilm Japan has not yet understood the importance of recipes for us Fujifilm shooters.

I hope Fujifilm Japan takes a marketing lesson from Fujifilm USA and gives us a simple firmware update that allows us to assign recipes on the film simulation dial.

But with all that said: there is a quick way to access your recipes. You have to go through the C position on the dial and then you can select between 7 recipes that you’ve set. Fuji Guy Francis will run you through it quickly below.

That’s nice and good, but it would have been fantastic to have our favorite top 3 recipes set right on the dial (FS1, FS2, FS3) and accessible with a simple turn of the dial.
