    marcosv reacted to Carolyn in XT2 : which flash ?   
    I bought the EF-X500 and really like it. I know it's pricey but not really when you compare it to what Nikon/Canon offer. Nikon's comparable flash is $600. The EF-X500 TTL is perfect, better than the Nissin i40. My biggest issue is that you need a 2nd EF-X500 to use off camera, or a cable. I tried the Cactus V6 II and couldn't get it to work. 
     
    That being said, I also have a Nissin i60 and air commander coming today. HSS should be available for that flash mid-January. I "think" you need to send it in for a firmware upgrade when the HSS becomes available, but it's a fast turn around and free, you just pay to ship to them. They kindly pay the return. I updated my i40 with them and it only took about a week. It now works with the XT2 (but no HSS with the i40 - TTL works fine).

    For work (real estate photography), I like the Yongnuo IV's and transmitter. Works like a charm. No HSS or TTL though. Godox is also very good, again, all manual.

    marcosv got a reaction from Aswald in I think the joystick is kinda worthless   
    I'm looking forward to trying the joystick when I buy my X-T2 early next year.
     
    I loved selecting AF points using it with the Canon DSLRs I've owned.  If the X-T2 moves the cursor as slowly as the one on the Canon 5D series, I'll probably look into reducing the number of AF points available so that I can get close to the one I want easier, which was what I had to do with the Canon DSLRs.

    LOL.  I know someone who bought a RX1 with the expensive EVF attachment.  I bought a X100s and we both went shooting.  Imagine the look on his face when he realized he left his RX1 on a restaurant's table and then the look when I caught up with him, and handed the RX1 back.  He said, for a moment he had visions of drowning his despair in a newly purchased X100s he would have bought as a replacement.
