Well... this is my first post here, and don’t have a Fuji yet. I really like what I’m seeing, from the quality of Fuji’s lenses to the look and feel of Fuji cameras and, obviously, the photos they produce. But I waited and waited… and then came another new “lens roadmap / wishlist / poll” and all, but sincerely, there's no lens or camera or sensor that will truly make me commit to the Fuji X system. Also, looking at the posts about flash photography in this forum it becomes pretty evident that Fuji doesn’t offer a “complete” solution yet.
I think it's about time they announce “at least a roadmap” for a “solid” TTL flash system. They’re underestimating it too much. I waited for years now. If they really can't, why not trying to rebrand a system from another manufacturer?
Looking at the other options, I believe Nissin’s i40 is a better match for the Fuji system, based on it’s size, weight and design.
Personally, I would like a solution based on Cactus V6 as a transmitter and Nissin i40 on camera. For remote units, any flash would do, I guess.
The problem with these two products (at least for me) is that they’re kind of a rarity in Brazil. Actually, I’ve never seen an i40 personally. (I’ve tested some cactus V6 with Nikon speedlights and cameras and really liked them, even without remote TTL).
Don’t get me wrong. Fuji cameras and lenses are great. The lens roadmap looks promising, although I’ll probably never have more than three primes (23, 56, 90mm. Maybe a 14mm, but that’s it).
So… what about a Flash system roadmap? Does it even exist? There’s not even a vague rumor.
