My ef-42 flash just stopped working suddenly in the middle of a family event. The flash will turn on, the test/charge button lights up and I can hear it starting up, but it will not fire. I have used it for about a year. Is it possible that the bulb just burnt out? If so, should I send it in for repair? or just buy a new speedlite? I am looking at the nissan i40, based on recommendations online, but I have no idea really. I have the x-e2.

Hello! I have the x-e2. Do you think the nissan i40 would be compatible? How do I find out if it is?

What do you mean autofocus? Do you mean it would be hard to find a similar lens with autofocus? Also, so you think with the 60mm f2.4 I would give me good bokeh?

A few months ago I asked the sales rep at my local camera store if I could use other lenses on my Fuji and he practically laughed at me, saying "Fuji is known for their glass, why would you put any other lens on your camera." Since then, I have shyed away from this topic, but now I'd like to hear what others have to say. Is it a 'sin' to put a non-fuji lens on our cameras?

Wow. Great photo. Is the adapter expensive? Does it work for all Canon Lenses? I really want an 85mm for portraits, but the 56mm fuji is so expensive...

Thank you for input. I really love my x-e2 but sometimes I find that it is 'clunky' and gets stuck or freezes between shots. I also can't get it to keep up the speed of multiple shots when I'm chasing my kids. For this reason, I'm looking ahead at someday upgrading, but now that you said there isn't much difference between the x-e2 and x-T1 I'm note sure.

I really want a good portrait lens but the $1000 price tag for the 56 is making it hard to ask for as a birthday gift. Is there anything out there that would be more affordable but also offer the same quality? (I know it's a tall order)

I love my x-e2, but it's not as powerful as I would like. Is it worth it to trade in to my local camera store and upgrade to a better model? Will all my fuji lenses be compatible? Also, which model would you recommend assuming I don't want to spend too much.
