  1. I believe we were both thinking of a Leica R8 or R9 then, with an oversized shutter dial, with unmarked half stops. It would be ok for me. http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Leica_R8 Also, I would really like an oversized dial so that I could turn it both from behind or in front of the camera. Just an idea. (Not the case with the R8). Of course, 1/3 stops make a small variation both in exposure or motion blur. The ideia was just to simplify operation even more by using just one control for speed.
  2. Curious to know if the this mechanical shutter dial now has 1/3 stops just as the lenses have. It's kind of weird using full stops on a mechanical dial and then using a secondary dial on the back to dial the 1/3 stops.
  3. Sure, I saw that post before. Bad news, really. And I just realized that although some camera makers usually show lens roadmaps (Sony, Fuji) I don't remember reading about any sort of flash system roadmap. Curious. Anyway, I will just share my wishlist then, in hope that Fujifilm engineers read this forum one day: Master flash: small, light and easy to configure. Analog interface, with independent controls and dials for each remote group. Radio triggering. Remote flash: powerful, fast recycling. Lithium batteries. LED modeling lights inside the flash head. Radio. Analog interface. NO MENUS, please! I guess one solution for a remote flash would be something like this: A Godox V860 (powerful, fast charge and recycle, lithium battery) + Canon 320EX interface (simple, no menus) + LED modeling light inside flash head.
  4. 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.
